>Yeh one of the things L-tryptophan and 5 HTP do is increase the production of melatonin, which will make one tired, also serotonin can make one lethargic. SSRIs however interfere with the metabolism of serotonin so they don't generally enhance the production of melatonin(they make me sleepy somehow), and for some cause insomnia.
