darkjungle Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Does anyone feel like the tryptophan ocean that accompanies Turkey Day might be interacting with their crazy &/or pain meds? Aside from the expected fog, severe whole body spasticity, with severe pain, drenched in sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifequake Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 The "tryptophan ocean" is a myth. Tryptophan, an amino acid, is found in similar quantities in other meats and foods. Steak, chicken, a few servings of cheddar cheese or beans, etc. are just like eating a serving of turkey. The post-Thanksgiving sleepiness is likely due to overeating and consuming a lot of carbs. Hope that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
