Hi all.. I was wondering if any of you who take 5-htp for anxiety experience heart palpitations as one of your anxiety symptoms. I would like to know how 5-htp effects people with palps which are my main anxiety symptom. Thanks. -mark

hi there,

sorry, but my anxiety was not accompanied by heart palpitations as a matter of course. rather a simple thing of debilitating fear which makes simple task aweseome and frightening, like opening mail, or answering the phone. i'm not sure which is the start or the end of what you describe. anxiety can cause palps, so if 5-htp helps the anxiety, ti would alos help the palps, i think. I dont know which goes first though. If the palps cause anxiety, yu probably would need to find meds that deal with palpitations.

simply put : 5-htp does help me with my manifestation of anxiety. 5-h tp is a serotonin-based drug. I think it depends on what causes the palpitations. if these are related to low S levels, 5-htp should help. try a google search on your condition? I cant recall reading anyting about 5-htp and palps, but may have not bothered taking that info in.

good luck

Matt

regards

Matt
