Hello TJ
Thanks for that advice. I was looking at a book called ''Brain Candy'' and they also mentioned there were problems with taking high doses of B6. They said don't go over 100g per day because high doses over time can cause neurotoxicity. Is that your concern too?Soon after sending my post I began to develop a headache and nausea. I had to brave the shopping mall and felt quite weird, anxious and nervy.
The wall to wall people, babies crying, music were almost unbearable. It was as though the volume and intensity had been jacked up. The headache and that SSRI 'rats gnawing your gut' sensation made it a great Christmassy experience. I did the bare minimum and went home and crawled under the doona.I also had difficulty getting to sleep after taking the Tryptophan the previous night but put it down to work worry but now I think it was the T.
I think Tryptophan has done its last dash with me. I don't know whether it is like an SSRI where you have to take it for weeks until you start to tolerate it?
Anyway as I was crawling through the tinsel and din at the shopping centre I managed to detour into a health food store and bought a bottle of B3.
I'll ditch the Tryptophan but continue experimenting with a lower dose of B6 and try the B3.So far only tyrosine and magnesium have done anything....
