Is L-Tryptophan Advisable For Sleeplessness And Mood Swings?

Going to use L-Tryptophane as I found 5HTP at just 100 milligrams to strong, I am trying to get through depression and get better sleep. I weened myself off of pharmaceuticals using Empower Plus and Amino Acids, plus Vitamin D. Still not really close to ideal. Can L-Tryptophane help balance sleep and mood?

hi, i wil tell u that L-tryptophan will convert in to serotonin in our body after taking. serotonin helps us to prevent mood swings and also helps in sleep. so u will take it for that. i think u also need some antidepressant for your sleeplessness and mood swings.
