Topic Title: 5htp sjw and Anger
| | "5htp sjw and Anger" , Sat 5 Oct 12:59
I recently began taking a combination of SJW Kava and 5htp for a long term bout of angry irritable keyed up depression. I take "Good N' Natural" SJW 300mg + Kava 250mg 3x/day and a very theraputic but somewhat sedating dose of "Pure Encapsulations" 5htp 200mg 3x/day. The combo within 2 weeks has effectivly relived my restlessness, feelings of inadaquacy and worthlessness and given me a mental focus like I've never had in my life. The down side is it seems to have somehow magnified my anger. I've spent my waking hours of the last few days so on edge that something as trivial as the telephone ringing almost makes me come unglued! I almost punched a hole in my windshield yesterday when I drove up behind a slow moving machine on the highway, and today I literaly took a young man's head off for accidentaly giving me the wrong sandwich at Burger King.
Is it possible that I just need to give the chemicals more time to bring me into a healthy balance or should I adjust my dosages or add some other suplement to combat my aggression? If anyone has any suggestions or has experienced similar symptoms, please respond.

I suggest that you give it a couple more weeks for your body to get accustomed to the dosage. I used to take 500mg/day of 5htp, and I found that it really relieved the anger and irritability.
