Protein deficiency, what amino acids for skeletal muscles?

Hi.
I developed a very rare sensitivity to tryptophan about 4 months ago, which has resulted in me barely eating any protein to keep the symptoms down.

Now I've started to get muscle pain and extreme weakness which I assume is due to a lack of proteins. Since I don't tolerate tryptophan I have started to supplement my protein deficiency by using separate amino acids. I currently only take the essential aminos excluding tryptophan, but I'm wondering if maybe I could use some non-essential ones as well.

Currently I eat sugar, some vegetables, and butter. That's it. I know it's not good in the long run but I'm seeing a doctor to hopefully get to the bottom of this, although I haven't received any help after all these months.

What better place to ask than here? What non-essential amino acids are needed for rebuilding muscles? Is tryptophan needed for muscles? If so, I'm screwed. I've googled for hours but found no help. Thanks in advance.
