> where do i begin with a tryptophan dosage?
I'd start with a gram (1000 mg). Taken on an empty stomach. Half an hour later, have something to eat, preferably with something sweet, or of high glycemic index. The insulin pulse thus produced helps tryptophan target the brain. Therefore, taken on arising, followed by breakfast, works really well. If it makes you feel a little dopey, that's going to make it better for late in the day. Tryptophan is also a precursor for melatonin.
