Thanks for the mail-order tip. Tryptophan is fine for insomnia, though I now prefer melatonin. Also, good "night milk" has a lot of tryptophan (or the precursor, I forget), so I can get by with a large glass of milk many times. Still, good to know the stuff is not completely restricted to us.

You can still buy Tryptophan OTC, for horses. I also order it from
Canada. www.fludan.com

I agree with you assesment of the situation though. Follow the money.

forinsomnia and tension.

I had not known about the prescription scam.   It was evidently
donevery, very quietly.   The result is that a safe,
inexpensivenutraceutical is now a safe, expensive prescription drug.

Very convenient indeed.    It is not hard to imagine something
similarhappening with CS.
