After discontinuing L-Tryptophan, which is an amino acid supplement, there is usually no need to wait long before starting Escitalopram, however, it is advisable to keep at least a few days break to avoid interactions and excessive increases in serotonin levels. Escitalopram is an SSRI drug and can cause serotonin syndrome when used concomitantly with other serotonin-enhancers such as L-Tryptophan.

When introducing Escitalopram, it is usually started with a dose of 5 mg per day, which can be increased after 1-2 weeks. If you need more personalized advice, you can use teleconsultations here:
