Has anyone had an issue with poor sleep and nightmares on gelatin, perhaps also some sleep paralysis?
I started taking 15mg of beef gelatine twice a day about 5 days ago and have noticed poor sleep on the first day of taking it, with increasing frequency of nightmares since.
I have only had good sleep before which changed the day I started gelatine so I'm pretty certain it's what is causing the poor sleep.
I have found some blogs claiming it has an effect on serotonin via tryptophan depletion, but I haven't found any scientific data that backs that claim.
There are people saying it has negatively affected their sleep, lowered their mood and increased anxiety or worsened their depression. These are on a website called Everywomanover29 on the post titled "Collagen and gelatin lower serotonin: does this increase your anxiety and depression?"
Some further details about my circumstances:
- I am taking gelatine for my knee issues
- I started an SSRI a month ago for anxiety and depression
Has any of you experienced this or have any feedback?
