Hi and welcome
my son had a similar problem tho he was taking 5HTP (5 hydroxy tryptophan) rather than L tryptophan
he had used the 5HTP for a number of years to help with his OCD related to Tourette Syndrome and it really helped him!
however, he found it eventually started making him feel edgy, restless and "wired" so stopped
he now uses Inositol instead and finds it much better with no side effects. he needs quite a high dose (12 gm) but is very pleased with the results. It is usually recommended to take vitB6 with it (as also recommended with tryptophan and 5HTP)
