Just started taking l tryptophan earlier today and idk why but im having bad anxiety right now I feel really hot is this normal? & does anyone take l tryptophan?
Tryptophan is found in a regular diet, although use of it as a medication is said to increase serotonin as it acts as a precursor to 5-HTP.
I would expect this, then, to have similar side effects to an increased level of serotonin. I had hot flashes and a lot of sweating on Sertraline, which could be similar to what you are experiencing. Everyone reacts differently to medication and the best thing to do is not focus on them too much, the more you make yourself aware of something like a side effect, the more prominent it can become.
Focus on your breathing, picture it like you are inflating and deflating a balloon when you breathe. Do you take tryptophan regularly? I would recommend it regularly if it is not dangerous as it sounds similar to how antidepressants work. I am not a health professional though, so you might want to ask a doctor or pharmacist before doing something different.
Take care man, keep well.
