You’re probably taking to much, these are recommendations from Walter Perpaoli, MD, PHD and William Regelson MD:
Age
35-44 .5 to 1 mg at bedtime
45-54 1 to 2mg "
55-64 2 to 2.5 mg "
65-74 2.5 to 5 mg "
75 plus 3.5 mg to 5mg "

I have found that L-tryptophan works real well to knock you out quickly, but it’s hard to find and I usually wake up in a couple of hours and can’t get back to sleep (aaarrrrggg!!!)If you take a big dose, it’s a real strange, dopey buzz. If anyone is interested, I still have an address and phone# for a lab that sells veterinary supplements, and one of the supplements is L-Trytophan. I’ve ordered it from them a bunch and it’s the real deal. I got the original lead from Bill Phillip’s old magazine.[/quote]
You can just get 5-HTP, the precursor for L-Tryptophan. Works pretty much the same I think, and it’s legal.
