I'm going to try it

[manataray]

I've decided to try 5-HTP. I've done some research and it looks like 5-HTP is the most promising. I've tried SJW once a few years back for about 4 weeks and I didn't see or feel any change at all. I was going to try SAMe but the results look sketchy and the price is very high!

5-HTP seems to be the real deal. I can't find any bad articles on it. I found one Dr. Wiel article saying that some believe it can cause heart attacks or something if seratonin is produced in the blood instead of the brain. This was the only article I found with a severe side affect. All the others seemed minor.

Any thoughts? I'm also looking for personal testimonies. Do you know of any sites where I can find a good number of personal testimonies to the positive, negative or null affects of 5-HTP?

Thanks!

Okay..I took 50mg of 5-HTP last night before bed. I had a restful night sleep and did dream more than usual but at first did not think my dreams were "vivid". However, my wife told me this morning that I was talking in my sleep a ton last night and kept waking her up! So, perhaps they were more vivid than I remember. Either way it looks like 5-HTP did affect my sleep. I woke up this morning feeling normal. I didn't feel like I was dragging like some other experiences I've read. And today, I feel energetic.

In addition, I am a bit more positive today. Perhaps it is a placebo affect but I don't care. I do feel different. Not radically different, but different. Besides talking in my sleep, no side effects yet.

I'll continue to keep you posted. It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the long term.

Try this link, you have to go less than half way down to find the emails/testemonials . I actually found this site when doing a search on side effects.
