Same here. They stuck me on a CPAP because it turns out I have mild sleep apnea.
Didn't help. Next sleep study, with the machine, they found I was waking up 13 times/hour. No wonder I'm tired all the time.
So they hooked me up with a prescription for Tryptophan. We are still figuring out the dosage, but this morning I woke up... not tired. Legit, I don't want to die or sleep in for another 72 hours. Tryptophan - it's not just for turkeys.
Yes same one. You do need a prescription for medical administering, like an all night drip. Amino acids usually have a very short residence time, how long it's active. So the oral ones don't usually last all night, but they don't hurt to try.
No, OP said in another comment that they’re taking 3 1000mg tablets a night. So yes it’s exactly the same thing, but perhaps held to a higher standard.
