I know you've been burned with the SSRI's. I recall reading your posts. You're in a different situation from me, obviously. But I opted for the L-Tryptophan at the suggestion of the lab that did the tests and also my doctors because testing showed that I was also deficient in L-Tryptophan. My body won't overproduce serotonin on the L-Tryptophan. It'll take what it needs to do the conversion and that's it. So far, that theory has been true for me and I only need to pulse the supplement now and not take it daily.

I just highlighted a few of the functional tests I had taken to show you how that type of testing can be helpful in finding root causes of some symptoms. This sort of testing is far beyond what "normal" or conventional approaches are offering now. I wasn't necessarily recommending that you go out and start boosting your serotonin.

Hope you feel better.
