> anyone know the max dose in a day? ijust started 2 grams at nite and id like to find out what amount of l tryptphan would equal the max dose of paxil since i did really well on the max dose of paxil.
You can't make comparisons like that. You can't substitute a food extract for a particular dose of a pharmaceutical drug. It's comparing apples and oranges. You can't get apple juice from an orange, no matter how many oranges you have.
There is no upper dose level for tryptophan. That said, it would not make sense to ingest huge amounts of it. Adjust your dose based on your response to it.
> im following the directions in that holland study from a earlier post , but they just kist the 2 grams!
Which holland study? Could you link to it, or describe it better?
