Topic Title: 5 HTP Experience

I have been experimention with 5-HTP since I quit taking Paxil in July. I started out with 100 mg of Nature's Way (I think). I noticed a difference the first day. I did have digestive problems at first, but it went away. It really helped with the anxious/tight feelings though. I was a bit sleepy with the 100 mg so decided to try only 50 mg. I bought some called Solaray. I eventually quit taking them. Lately have been feeling anxious again so started taking the 50mg SOLARAY. They don't seem to be helping. I don't know if I should try 50mg of another brand or go back to the 100mg Natures Way. These also bother my stomach (Solaray) more but they are coated.
Appreciate any info.

Yes, all the 5HTP I've tried upset my digestion resulting in diarrhea. Even the enteric coated Solaray and Natures' Way.
I've cut way back on the 5htp, but felt better emotionally when I took more.
Has anyone tried the powder that you mix with water and drink before meals?

Ok, sorry. I rechecked my info. It wasn't Nature's Way I was taking but actually from a source on the Internet (the 100mg). It was expensive $40, but I forgot the brand name. Oh well.
Still would like any info.

Actually, Nature's way is the brand you should use, because it is enteric coated it doesn't get broken down until it reaches the small intestine, no stomach upset.
