Lar, I worked in a Pharmacy over the summer and never once saw a prescription for Tryptophan. I checked the computer records and it seems that Tryptophan had never been dispensed from that Pharmacy! It's difficult to believe that such tight restrictions on Tryptophan prescribing/monitoring are necessary. As a result it's hardly ever used. It's bizarre that most ADs are prescribed so freely and Optimax is so difficult to get hold of.
