Can L-Tryptophan Be Taken Instead Of Ativan?

Would advise against l tryptophan
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
l-tryptophan is used in depression in combination at lower doses with other anti depressants.
It can further fuel anxiety or a panic attack. Ativan would be a better option for now. So, I would not recommend l tryptophan.
The recommended step would be to consult a psychiatrist for a XXXXXXX mental state exam to look for anxiety and/or depression and advise behavioral cognitive therapy, psychotherapy and medication accordingly.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
