If you have trouble sleeping through the night (or even have anxiety or panic attacks), finding the nutritional\/biochemical root causes and addressing them is going to provide relief but it\u2019s not always straightforward to find your root cause or causes (there are often more than one). Also, what works for you today may not work for you in 2 years time and may not work for your friend who has similar symptoms. You have to be a detective yourself and\/or work with a health professional who can put all the puzzle pieces together.<\/p>\n

I recently read a Facebook comment where someone was really frustrated about all the trial and error work that may be involved:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just so tired of all this trial and error work trying to figure out why I\u2019m anxious and depressed can\u2019t sleep more than 4 hours a night. It\u2019s been going on way too long I just want answers and a solution to all this. Enough already!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While I feel for this woman, I do acknowledge that it can sometimes be challenging to put all the puzzle pieces together. Other times we are able to figure things out very quickly. I\u2019d like to share some feedback from Lorraine on the tryptophan-PMS-anxiety blog<\/a>\u00a0to illustrate how one small change made a big difference for her and it was a matter of trial and error.<\/p>\n

Lorraine shares her great results with this Tryptophan Complete tweak for her insomnia:<\/p>\n

Trudy, after listening to your talks about Lidtke Tryptophan I decided to give the Tryptophan Complete a try. I\u2019ve taken one capsule each on the last two nights instead of two of the Tryptophan 500mg caps. Both nights I slept straight through all night and had a hard time waking up in the morning. I\u2019ve struggled with insomnia for many, many years. The 500mg Lidtke Tryptophan supplements were helping but I was still waking up during the night. For me to sleep all night is almost miraculous.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been also taking Progesterone (low on testing), Magnesium, L-Theanine and Melatonin.<\/p>\n

I recently added phosphatidylserine, and Holy Basil because saliva testing showed high cortisol at bedtime and off the charts high in the morning. I\u2019m hoping to start eliminating some of those other supplements now that I\u2019m sleeping so well.<\/p>\n

I want to thank you for the Anxiety Summits and your book and updates on Facebook and newsletters. I have learned so much from you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ve blogged about which product to use for boosting serotonin: Tryptophan 500mg or Tryptophan Complete (by Lidtke)?<\/a>. I share this<\/p>\n
