I have a sleep disorder and my sleep specialist is trying me on tryptophan (I am in Canada). I am to start on 1 tablet a day for a week and work up to 5/day. I have been on 1/day for 1 week and I am feeling depressed(not usual for me) and very irritable. I went nuts tonight on my teenage son and pulled over his computer because he called me a name a few times today. I am also on .5 mg clonazepam which I have been on for a couple of months. Last night I felt so depressed before bed that I couldn't move until I dragged myself into bed. I am not sure if it is helping my sleep. Could the depression and irritability be a side effect. The Dr said that I may feel nauseated as a side effect but I don't have that. I will eventually call the doctor but I also wanted opinions from here esp personal experience. Thanks!
