The Holistic Online site says 5-HTP is superior to Tryptophan. I believe that information to be INCORRECT. It does not agree with www.healthrecovery.com nor with other information I have seen. The 2000-3000 gram dosage may be correct, but I'd rather work up to it. The therapist that recommended Tryptophan to me over 20 years ago suggested starting with 500 mg, so that is what I have done now that I'm starting back. Even at 500-1000 mg. Tryptophan does cause the brain zaps. I experienced them way back when I first tried it, and I'm experiencing them now. I've always thought they were a good sign that something was happening that needed to be happening. I really want to know exactly what the Tryptophan is able to do, so I am trying to avoid adding any new "meds" to confuse the issue.

I'm glad there is a dialog going on about this.
