Limit quantity: Serotonin syndrome can be caused by taking high amounts of tryptophan with Prozac (fluoxetine) & other ssri's. Tryptophan occurs in many foods like dairy & turkey as well. Moderate tryptophan is safe.My favorite whey protein is whey cool: http://www.Rockwellnutrition.Com/p-designs-for-health-whey-cool-vanilla-organic-whey-protein#tablist 1 scoop has 500 mg of tryptophan so it should be safe if you limit to 1.
