L-Tryptophan is classed as an S2 substance (supply without prescription is illegal) in amounts of over 200mg- which is a "therapeutic dose". There is a b-complex that you can buy over the counter which contains 25mg of L-Tryptophan tho...it's "Natures own" brand. Although, it is reccommended that you take about 400mg of L-tryptophan as a postload, which works out at 16 capsules...hmm....i think i'll stick to my 100mg of 5htp.
When i spoke to my chemist (who also gave me the above facts) i discussed with him about how to get a prescription of L-Tryptophan. he said that the best bet would be to see a naturopath, as most GP's are very hesitant about prescribing it...(as i was to find out)
She refused to prescribe me L-tryptophan, but was really pushing me to try Prozac...(funny, most of her stationary, etc had Prozac printed all over it...)

Do you believe it when you see it, or do you see it when you believe it?
