Curious!!!

I am curious to find out more about something, I was just ordering my vitamins from the internet, the company I use is excellent, the thing is I was thinking of trying something to try to lift my mood and spirits to see if it would help me cope this winter.
The item has tryptophan, which I have read is an ammino acid, what I want to know is I thought tryptophan was an anti-depressant, and I right or wrong?, it says that this ammino acid is naturally in the body but with depression these levels are low, but some anti-depressants are addictive and I am just a wee bit worried about trying it, I have tried St.Johns Wort but found that I had to stop it because I suffered from side effects.
Thanks for reading and for any advice you can offer.

Eat 2,000,000 bananas , then see how you feel , if you feel happy then buy the Tryptophan ! lol :0)
Im pretty sure it is a supplement and not an actual Anti-Depressant , the companies on the web don't sell Anti-D's as per prescriptive law (well the uk for sure) so I think your pretty safe :0)

Eat the bananas made into muffins... with chocolate chips of course! Glad you sorted out the difference.

I have to watch eating bananas. They spike your blood sugar. Mine then dips about two hours after I eat a banana, leaving me feeling sluggish, sick to my stomach and generally unwell.
