I tried leucine for tryptophan depletion but it causes extreme insomnia that lasts for days (even if I manage to get a few hours of sleep eventually).
I tried melatonin added to the leucine but it does nothing at all to alleviate the insomnia, even at 0.3mg. Even l-theanine does nothing to help sleep quality and insomnia in this case.
Let me clarify that it doesn't matter if I take as little as 20mg or as high as 10g of leucine, every dosage has this effect of causing extreme insomnia.
After taking leucine repeatedly because of ignorance of the fact that leucine was giving me insomnia, I had not slept for 3 days and I was beginning to hallucinate (hearing a screaming girl)--got me scared I was going to go psychotic and not be able to sleep and eventually die from insomnia.
What could possibly cause it?
