after weaning off the SSRI I was taking. Yuk, weaning was a nasty experience. I started with 200mgs last night, and my plan is to take 200mgs X3 daily. Came up w/this after reading the 5HTP info available at this link..

Of course all your postings, and advice to people, have been very valuable to me MJ. I hope to have as good a result as you have enjoyed. HAGD

Diana,
Good luck I hope it works for you. You may experience an increase in anxiety for the first couple of days, tiredness and vivid dreams are some other side effects. I used to take 250mg 5htp with coffee in the morning and I didn't experience tiredness, and another 250 in the afternoon around 3 pm. As you are feeling better you should consider other things as well, like exercise, meditation, therapy, listening to uplifting music, whatever it takes to feel better and heal the depression.
Take care,
MJ DuPont
