Yes, I would definitely say you need to allow a few days. To maximize the effect, be sure and take it on an empty stomach with fruit juice. This helps it cross over from the blood into the brain. Also, take it about 30-45 minutes before going to sleep.
You also need to be supplementing with B3 and B6 for the Tryptophan to be most effective. (I hope I've got that right.)
500 mg was fine for me in the beginning, but if you don't notice a calming effect within a week, there's no harm in going up to 1000 mg. Most people take more than that.
