I nearly bought some of this today but when I got to the checkout I realised they didn't take the kind of debit card I have, and I couldn't be bothered to trail to the bank to get cash so I put it back. I was wondering: a) is it an effective weight loss supplement? and b) is it any good for anxiety? I see trawling through the threads here that some people think it isn't ... is there a definite consensus on this?

I've been taking 50mg per day for a couple of weeks now for anxiety and so far I think it's great. I'm gonna go up to 100mg soon and see how that feels. Since it increases serotonin levels and helps with depression there's no reason that it shouldn't help with anxiety. Be warned though.. I did feel overall weird and a little increase in anxiety for the first week but that soon passed.

As far as weight loss I've lost a few pounds because 5-htp has really curbed my hunger and I've been eating about half of what I used to. Good luck.
