A member asked:
I am currently taking escitalopram 10mg. so today i drank a whey protein shake supplement that contained 495 mg of l-tryptophan will anything happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not: If you have had no problem with the medication, the shake is not likely to cause any problem. Even though tryptophan is said to improve sleep , the evidence is very slim. Even if it does, just sleep it off.
