Guest guest Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I'm wondering if the people who respond poorly to SAMe also do poorly on tryptophan or 5 HTP and if there's any inference that can be drawn from this.

Two hours after food or one hour before food to be optimally effective. mjh " The Basil Book " _http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/_ (http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/) " rvankonynen " _richvank@... _ (mailto:richvank@...?Subject= Re:%20Tryptophan;%20thyroid) _rvankonynen _ (rvankonynen) Sat Jul 29, 2006 3:05 pm (PST) Hi, . Yes. When I said " consistently,Yes. When I said " consistently,<WBR> " when other protein was being ingested. If you just load up on tryptophan at bedtime, yes, by morning it should have done what it's going to do and be out of there. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Jim Some more knowledgable docs will prescrbe either with an SSRI in an attempt to keep the drug dose lower. This combo should only be done under medical supervision in my opinion. I take SAM-e early in the day and l-Tryptophan at bedtime. With this combo, I can get about eight hours of deep sleep. Taken after about 3 pm, SAM-e can keep folks from sleeping. I took it once at 4 pm and was bright and chipper until 6 am. Not good when there are circadian rhythm issues as well as sleep problems. mjh " The Basil Book " _http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/_ (http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/) Posted by: " gdubs123 " _gdubs123@... _ (mailto:gdubs123@...?Subject= Re:%20Tryptophan/SAMe) _gdubs123 _ (gdubs123) Sat Jul 29, 2006 7:57 pm (PST) Ive taken both of these, trytophan and sam-e with no problems. Maybe if you take them at the same time there could be a " seotonin syndrome " problem. not sure about that though. I know you definately not suuposed to take tryptophan w/ anti-depressant, not sure if you can have the same issure with sam-e Jim Simpson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 I do great on trypto, but couldn't tolerate SAMe at all. It was as if I was overdosing on phenylalanine which I was also taking, so I figured it must be synergistic w. the phenylal. so I stopped taking it. Couldn't afford to stop the phenylal. It worked.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 SAMe does absolutely nothing for me, good or bad. Tryptophan is very effective for helping me get to sleep. Oddly 5-HTP also seemed to do nothing.
