"depressed?for sleep?" , Sun 6 Jul 05:16

Ever since I had my son 16 months ago I wake up exhausted regardless how much sleep I've had. I was on Prozac/trazadone for many years recovering from an eating disorder about 8 years ago. I was down to 10 mgs during pregnancy but stopped because I didn't think I needed itonly 50 mfg trazadone. Now I'm thinking the reason for my sleep is maybe I am depressed although the only sadness I have is due my tiredness. How much 5-HTP should I start with? I've tried 100 the past two night but don't see much difference.
Does it take time to kick in, up my dose?
Sorry for the long post. Any input is appreciated.

Yes, for many people it just takes time to kick in. It took me about a month before I noticed the effects. You haven't been taking it long enough to up your dosage. Give it a couple of weeks and then decide whether or not you want to increase the dosage. I'm currently taking 100mg.
