Hi,
I'm planning on taking l-tryptophan and we are planning on falling pregnant, anybody have any news on how safe it is to use it while being pregnant?
Thanks,
Misch

Has anyone used tryptophan while pregnant or nursing. My research has proven inconclusive. Would appreciate peoples experiences on the matter. Thankyou.

Are you depressed? Surely being pregnant/having a baby is the last thing you need then!!! I've never been so depressed in my life as since I had mine...and believe me, when you have off days, the last thing you need is 'someone' to take care of, who no matter what you do screams the place down!! Phew....not a way to get better I'd have thought! Sorry if I'm totally wrong, but thats just my view!+ sorry if I ranted under the 'brands' section!

Hi,
I was thinking after posting my question that I should have given more explanation as to where I was coming from.
No, I don't mind you venting.
I have fibromyalgia which is a muscle condition in short.
Anyhow it is caused by low seritonan levels. I don't get depressed from it although it does give you a kind of agro feeling in your back.
I have been treating it for 2 years now with amitriptyline, pretty successfully actually. The trouble is amitriptyline makes me put on weight, because it gives you a really good appetite. I'd like to use something natural on my seritonen levels. When I heard about l-tryptophan and 5-htp it was the best news I've heard in ages.
I have weaned myself off the amitriptyline this week and last night I had 100mg of l-trytophan. That relaxed me a little, although I couldn't get to sleep and my thoughts where racing.
Then I had 100mg of 5-htp and my thoughts went back to normal thank God.
I was pleased with the result from the 5-htp.
Thank you everyone for all of your comments on this site it has been a God send for me.
Through this fomum I have also found out about sam-e and have some on order and am very interested to see those results too.
Anyhow, still inerested in how all of these products go with pregnancy?
God bless and thanks again!
Misch
