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
