5-HTP before beddy bo's!

[Zombie]

Hey,

I am currently taking RR & Saffron during the day & 50mg of 5-HTP before I go to bed.

Trouble is, I feel like crap pretty much most of the morning & getting out of bed has become extra difficult lateley. I've only been taking all of the above for just over a week now.

This may sound like a stupid question but should I stop taking the 5-HTP or will the mornings eventually get better?

Would much appreciate your thoughts on this.

Thanks.

Try taking it in the morning and see if it helps. Or switch to L-tryptophan; it works better than 5htp for some.

Thanks for your thoughts, Orlando.

I've decided to stop taking the 5-HTP & just see how I go with the RR & Saffron. After all, I did start taking everything at the same time so I wouldn't even be sure what's working. That is, if anything decided to work for me!

I think I did feel a little better this morning without taking it last night.

Cheers now.

5htp shouldn't cause morning drowsiness, but I guess that it could be causing this for you.

Try upping the RR as I find that this really kickstarts me each morning.
