I took 1 500mg capsule a night, but since mine is though a compounding place, not sure what's all in it.

It IS covered by my medical insurance through work, surprisingly

It did help me to sleep for sure!

My L-Tryptophan comes in 2,000 mg capsules and the bottle says that "Serving Size: 4 Capsules".

This is why I am going to do a bit more research on the amount to take to get a favorable sleep results.

Default depression/interferon and MS
When I got my diagnosis of MS, I was immediatley put on an anti-depressant. My doc said..."MS can cause depression and Interferon has been known to cause depression.

Kind of an ounce of prevention thing.
Gotta say I felt better.....
Now I'm taking Chantix to quit smoking (wow...never thought I would just "forget" to smoke}
Anyway, that stuff wakes me up in the middle of the night and I can't fall back to sleep...

Then the cat thinks I'm up and its time to play>>>>>>>>>
