Hello,
I am new to 5-htp. I just started taking it yesterday. I have begun on 50mg per day (taking 1 hour before bed). Can anyone tell me how it is generally before I start noticing benefits. I'm taking it to aid sleep and eleviate my mood.
Although I have found a lot of info on the web, I have found very little on how long you have to wait before seeing benefits.
Cheers

I find 100mg to be the right dose for me to fall asleep (also about an hour beforehand) and that started working almost immediately. I was taking 300mg a day in divided dosages (for anxiety and moderate depression) and initially felt sleepy throughout the day, but that passed. I think it took about 3 weeks to start working for anxiety, which was my primary reason for taking it. I did experience an increase in anxiety in the initial stages, then that smoothed out. Hope this helps! Consider taking the 100mg dose at night for sleep if 50mg doesnt work for you.
