You get tryptophan every day, in food. Using supplements is not like taking a drug. That said, you *could* develop symptoms from combining them, but that would depend on dose (of both substances), and your unique biochemistry. If you don't go overboard, you should be safe combining the two. I know you're wondering, how much is "overboard"? A gram a day should be safe, a couple *might* be pushing it.
