Hi Kim,

I would pm FLaddict and ask her as she is the resident expert with the amino acids.
She's great and is very knowledgeable/

Good luck,
Melissa

i'm on day 19 and last night was my first night of regular sleep. I think its different for everybody and I tapered vs. cold turkey...I tried the melatonin(?) and it never seemed to make much of a difference...I took the 3mg pills 2 a little before bedtime and one in the middle of the night. Maybe I needed more...
I first noticed the RLS and "jerking" becoming manageable a few night ago...in that I could resist the urge to move around...then last night no RLS/jerking and a good night's sleep.
I'm thinking good sleep is just around the corner for you....hope so!
