Well here's my update after starting the 5HTP on Wednesday.I had high hopes and expectations for the 5HTP after all I had read, but maybe its not for me. I have felt kinda drugged up..sluggish and sleepy. Emotionally I feel really low, I haven't felt this low for years. I'm edgy and short tempered..easy to anger which I hate.
I am revisiting those old feelings of not wanting to be around anyone and avoiding friends. Anything is better than this....I am going on a family trip in 2 weeks and it is awful to imagine being my husband and daughter going with some one like me in this miserable condition.
MJ: maybe I havent given it enough time, does it usually take a while ?..thats not what my understanding was but I'd be interested in your advice at this point.

I know how you feel.I took 5-HTP by natrol for a week. The first day I felt so good. I was so happy and just relieved of all the depression and anxiety. Now I feel like it's not working at all. It was like a one time thing. Although last summer when i took it in the summer I woke up on June 1st and it was the best day of my entire life ever. I was so mentally clear and focused. I wasn't tired or sluggish. I had energy. It seems as though 5-HTP only gives sporatic results for me.

For some people it does take awhile to have an effect, just like sjw I would give it at least 4 weeks.

I shall compromise for a while and get a much smaller dose of 5HTP ..I was taking 200 X2 day. I'll see if 50mgs works better for me. But 4 weeks..No Way can I be like this for that length of time. I'll let you know...thanks for the reply MJ

Why a lower dose? I would think you would want to go higher? I'm missing something...

If I take a higher dose I'm likely to be asleep all day. My thinking is that in a lower dose it may take the edge off without the drowsiness.

I took 5 HTP for about 4 days and it made me too anxious.
I suffer from anxiety and a bit of depression(my wife's prognosis).
I am now trying Rosavin(RHODIOLA ROSEA).Been taking it 4-5 days and feel no side effects nor anything else.Which I guess is good so far.
