[QUOTE="totoro, post: 186419, member: 3155"] Thanks Nomad~ husband and I are reading a book on fighting depression and anxiety naturally. (Orthomolecular Medicine) They have a long discussion on L-Tryptophan the author has a page which he states: Symptoms indicating Tryptophan is needed to increase Serotonin levels *Sleeplessness *Anxiety *Irritability *Nervous Depression In the other book I am reading: "Treating & Beating Anxiety and Depression with orthomolecular medicine" by Roger Murphree He has a chapter on sleeplessness. He is big on 5HTP (the common over the counter form of Tryptophan) He feels it restores our Serotonin levels. He likes it with Melotonin when needed. He goes into how and when you take it, how much. This book is really good! I am trying to get off of Ambien and he goes into how to add natural medications to help. He is also big on realizing that Prescription medications may be necessary for some especially Mental Illness as well as pushing home the point that working with your Doctor is very important. I was taking Trazodone and now Ambien, so I am adding melotonin and cutting my Ambien, this past week has been pretty good. I am thinking of picking up some Tryptophan. I am glad it is working for you! [/QUOTE]
