Hi Nolvas,
Thanks for the congrats.
I can sure notice the tryptophan.. not sure if I'll like it overall as yet.. but I notice it..even at only 1/2 capful a day!
I tried 500mg the first night..and 250mg last night. Got a sore tummy and some flatuence.. bit of burping etc the first morning as well; . also appetite suppressing effect.I think I feel a bit less anxious and not caring about everything so much as well. It also made me really sleepy about 1 1/2 hrs after taking it..which reminds.. I should have taken it a couple of hours ago :-)
The first morning after taking it the previous night I even felt great and more energy... not sure if that is going to be lasting though as I didn't sleep as long last night.
IT hasn't stopped my tenseness or teeth grinding as yet. Still its early days. I do think it will probably taper off in effectiveness..a poop out thing as receptors get downregulated though.Did anyone else find this with tryptophan?
------------------------Some folk here seem to really like Kava.
I've tried it and it didn't seem to have that much of an effect on me. Alcohol is way stronger for me:-).
The guys I was drinking it with who also weren't used to it all spewed though :-) The ones who have had it a few times aren't as affected.
It did make my night vision great though..and it makes me very thirsty.. and able to beat my son playing 8-ball as he gets more affected by it.. until I get to the last ball and remember anyway ;-)
I drank a couple of cups before flying the London once with the idea it would make me sleep thru the trip.. instead it just made me really really thirsty, sighI started trying to write up what I knew about Kava.. but I haven't finished it as yet.
Still you might get something out of it..
