Topic Title: 5 htp and insomnia
| | "5 htp and insomnia" , Wed 24 Oct 06:48
I started taking 5 htp once in the morning and once and night as prescribed by my doctor and felt very tired during the day. Now, I've been 50 mlg just once before I go to bed and for the past three nights, I've had insomnia and felt wide awake. I cant figure out what to do. Now, I want to go back to taking it during the day. Has anyone else experienced insomnia when taking 5 htp at night? I need sleep.

Give it some time. I would suggest going back to your original dose, take the morning pill with (1) cup of coffee, and again instead of taking it before bed, take it with dinner. If you need to loose weight take it 1/2 - 1 hour before dinner. I think you will find that any energy surge will be worn off by the time you are ready for bed, you may even be tired. You will sleep well and wake up rested.
