> > There was also that drug or diet they did that caused tryptophan deficiency. Can't remember more--part of the disease. Anyway why not do a tryptophan challenge--just take it and see if it changes anything. (5HTP is all you can get now). I did this challenge--it didn't help. But I new that within a couple of days. (I know maybe it should have taken 6 weeks for it to have an effect, but these aminos and amino precursors have strong effects with me and I feel them right away.) I have also tried tyrosine, phenylalmine, glutamine, gaba, choline. They all have immediate and fairly profound effects on me. In a pinch, I would take tyrosine, phenylalmine and glutamine in a combo to make it through a few days between meds. The gaba I still take and give to my son (13) when he is too anxious to sleep before an exam. The choline, amazingly enough, seems to have stopped my "skin picking" (eating cuticles) behaviour so I think I'll continue it.
