I started taking the 5-HTP to go along with the St. John's Wort with Kava, and I'm actually feeling worse. I feel extremely tired in the morning, and I don't feel like I'm getting anything out of my workouts in the evening. When I work out, all I'm feeling is tired and sore. When last week, after a nice long workout, I had a sort of endorphin high. And it wasn't so hard to get out of bed with less rest. Plus I've noticed that my mood has deteriorated somewhat, may have something to do with feeling tired and not feeling good after a workout. Has anyone else had a similar experience? does it go away? Am I just unlucky?
I think I shall try it the rest of the week and see if it does anything. if not I think I'm going to stop using the 5-HTP and just keep taking the SJW.

I'm taking 50mg of 5-htp morning and another 50mg late afteroon, along with 2x300mg kava 3 times a day.
Apart from improvements in mood:
I've found specifically with the 5-htp that it has had the effect of giving me much more energy than I felt before. Working out for me has been something I struggle to get round to and struggle when I am doing but yesterday I had probably double the energy I would normally have. Also muscle cramps which were something I have got used to almost completely disappeared.
I suppose it has different effects for different people, unless its the SJW/5-HTP combination making the difference.

kava kava is in the bensodiazapine family, if you take it during the day you would be fatigued. I can't take it during the day because I become very tired and disoriented.

I'm taking 3X 300MG .3 SJW with I think 60MG kava in it spaced out throughout the day and 1 pill of 50MG 5-HTP with dinner and I feel like trash. Recommeneded doseage on the bottle is 1 pill. and if I feel this bad, I doubt i want to increase my dosage. I may try trading it for Ginseng for energy, and see if that puts me back up.
