Hi guys maaybe some one out there can help me out here.
I have mild to moderate anxiety with physical symptoms associated
with it, (stomach problems). Doctor wanted to put me on Paxil
but I did my homework on it first and I am bloody glad I refused.
I have never been on any meds. I recently bought a bottle
of 5-HTP caps. of 50mg over the counter, and the directions on the bottle says to take one before bed time. Basically all I want
to know really is the side effects and risk of taking it, some
people love it and some hate it. The story that really creeped me
out on here was the dude that said his head felt like it was expanding! I was thinking of taking Kava Kava and St. John's Wort instead. I forgot to mention I also have mild depression.
any ifo would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi, I've just started taking 5 htp too and have noticed a huge improvement in my moods/ anxiety-brilliant!
I seem to be having some side affects though and would like to find out about this. Iv'e had really bad headaches, wicked nightmares and today I thought I was going to pass out ...today I only took 25mg as I thought this might help. It looks like its back on the anti-depressants for me as I feel quite worried about these affects. I'm sure my g.p won't know/be able to help but I'll try anyway. Anyone got any advice? bY THE WAY i WAS ON EEXFOR FOR 8 MONTHS AND FOUND IT BRILIANT BUT DO'NT WANT TO BE ON PILLS ALL MY LIFE.

5-HTP affects certain people in different ways. Some people take it without having any side effects at all, but then others report having a feeling of uneasiness or mild anxiety. You'll just have to try it out for yourself and see if it works for you. I haven't heard of any real risks associated with 5-HTP. I know that the bottle says take one before bed time, but you'll have to try out different times to figure out which time of day is best for you. Don't take Kava Kava. It has been banned in some countries because people have reported rough side effects.
