L tryptophan and anti depressants

[spinn]

My mother has restless leg syndrome and is basically not sleeping because of it.

Drs have done nothing but the anti depressant/sleeping pill routine and of course that has not helped.

I am not sure which anti depressants they beg her to take, but I am wondering if taking L tryptophan with them is dangerous? I know taking 5 htp can be.

I am hoping this will help her sleep....it seems to be helping me somewhat.

I use Requip for mine and it has worked wonderfully. Nothing else seemed to have any effect and I've been trying diffferent cures, both prescription & natural, for over 20 years.
