I have known L-Tryptophan to work for things like insomnia, drug addiction, and anxiety.   L-Tryptophan is a natually occurring amino acid found in warm milk, and turkey, just to name two.  Amino acids are not approved by the FDA for use in treating or preventing any disease.  But then, neither is turkey or milk.  Yet anyone who has had a glass of warm milk to relax themselves, or experianced a large turkey dinner, can attest to the effective results.   Many sleeping pills have recently been associated with things like sleep-driving.  I have seen no evidence of this danger with L-Tryptophan.  It's nonaddictive.   As long as a large pharmaceutical company is not doing expensive research on it, it will never be FDA approved, so don't hold your breath.
