Does anyone know about the safety of using L-Tryptophan daily in the lead up to using Ayahuasca?

I know SSRI's are definitely to be avoided but does this also apply to tryptophan supplements. From googling it it seems the general consensus is to avoid it but I wondered if anyone has direct experience of using it in the weeks leading up to Ayahuasca use?

According to the BNF, there is a risk of CNS excitation if L-tryptophan is given with MAOIs but it also mentions making a dose reduction of the L-tryptophan if the two are used concurrently.
I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.
