Yes, the melatonin before bed. I read in bed, and it starts working in about 1/2 hr. You need to take it every day, and it may take 3-5 days to start working well. It is not like a drug...you won't feel that huge effect like drugs do.

I read at night... a boring thing works well!

Swanson's is fine. Do the theanine first. You may need 200mg or more a dose. You may need two a day, but start at 200mg a day or thereabouts and see if the lesser works. It will take the edge off the anxiety...since it works on GABA in a similar way as Xanax.

Tryptophan should be okay for you. You kidneys seem normal.
