Also, I've heard that aminos compete to cross the blood-brain barrier so when you eat lots of protein, all the aminos in the protein compete with l-tryptophan to get into your brain so less l-tryptophan can get in there and convert to seratonin. However, if you exercise hard daily, your muscles will utilize the extra aminos that you eat, leaving the l-tryptophan to get into the brain...or something like that. Why the muscles don't use up the l-tryptophan too, I don't know. But BUT BUT, as we all know, it is FRIGGIN' HARD to exercise when depression and anxiety have rendered you fatigued and shaky
