Do NOT take L-Tryptophan!

[Dave Darling]

Do NOT take L-Tryptophan, I took it for several weeks and then suddenly was in severe pain throughout my entire body. It sent me through the roof and I could barely even lie down or get up, it hurt so bad I actually screamed, couldn't help it! it did wear off after several days and thankfully Tylenol was able to take the edge off so I could function. I can never take it again, It is a shame because it helped me alot, I felt really good on it and it reduced alot of my symptoms. If you are taking it now I would stop right now, it is a ticking time bomb!

If it was causing you problems, obviously you should stop it and not take it again--but that doesn't mean no one should take it. Lots of medications have potential side effects that are uncommon. Obviously for those who suffer from those side effects, they should stop, but it doesn't mean everyone else should stop also.

This one seems a particularly odd choice to use as a warning for people not to use it, because it (according to you) just caused you a lot of pain for several days. Which is obviously really bad (pain hurts), but it doesn't seem like it caused any lingering damage.

That doesn't mean it wasn't unbearable at the time. I don't think in todays age with the distance we have come with medicine, that any of our medications should have the lists of horrific side effects in them. Its almost like they are engineering the effects into the drugs. Nothing should put you in pain.
