A member asked:
Can i take protein powder while taking 100mg of sertraline? is the tryptophan content high enough to cause concern or harm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drug Interaction: Using a protein powder will not cause concern with taking sertraline. No problems with tryptophan to be concerned about. It is an amino acid- a building block of protein. You eat protein in a normal diet. Certain foods contain higher amounts of proteins. When you eat large amounts like Turkey dinner you may feel satisfied and sleepy for a short while afterwards
