I have taken 1500 mg / night for maybe a month or two. I can't say I had any noticeable side effects; however, my cholesterol levels were in the normal to slightly high range at the time. I was taking in combination with other meds about 125mg of Nortriptyline, valium and seroquel. All of the drugs were being tapered downwards at the time. I can't be certain as to how well it affected my sleep which was the primary reason I was taking it. Also if you check a drug interactions site you will find that L-tryptophan is contraindicated with Nortriptyline due to the potential of serotonin shock/syndrome. I did not experience this, but it would make very cautious of trying this mix again.

When I switched brands to Source Naturals, I thought I was experiencing a little nausea in the mornings. That was the only side effect that I noticed. But whether it was from that brand or a cumulative effect, I can't be certain.
