> Hello Jasmine,
> L-Tryptophan is supposed to work for anxiety, as well as depression. I have found that to be so. Before I started taking it, I would recycle the same worries throughout the day. Now I am able to dismiss these thoughts. Like you, I would have to say that anxiety has been a bigger problem for me than depression. I am not taking any other prescriptions for psychiatric-related problems. It's too bad you are unable to separate what the Tryptophan is doing from what your other meds are doing. Please keep posting as you learn more about it.** Yes, It's a little problematic, when there are other things involved. I think the Celexa will have completely cleared my body though, now. I know how I react to Klonopin, because I was using that as monotherapy for at least 5-6 months. What is unknown of course, is how the two (Klon. & Trypt) react together.
Because of this, I've decided not to add any segeline for now. It's too soon. I'm hoping to stablize my anxiety and sleep on Trypt. (finding the right dose) before my next Pdoc app't on Dec. 1st.
I will keep posting. Thanks for your interest.
Jas
