Hi,
Yes...I recall it had a similar effect as the SSRI drugs. I found if I took too much, I couldn't sleep and would get hyper-anxiety, but in regular doses, it seemed to work well on both my sleep and overall feeling of wellness.
You might want to try a Medline search on tryptophan

(which is an amino acid also btw...and I recall it was priced fairly good/cheap also.) Your doctor may ask you to take it on an empty stomach, so it doesn't have to compete with other proteins.
Good luck...let us know how you make out!
