Hello,
I have just recently begun taking 5-HTP. I purchased Natrol 5-HTP 50mg tablets. I started taking 100mg's in the AM and then 100mg's in the PM.
I am interesting in hearing others dosages and feelings on how they like or dislike it.
Thanks for your time =)

I absolutely love 5htp. I took 500mg/day in divided doses for about 2 years and that combined with therapy, exercise, prayer/meditation, amongst other things cured my depression. I used Nature's way brand 5htp with vitamin c and b6. I also started with Natrol brand but had some stomach upset so I switched to a brand that is enteric coated. I still occasionally take 5htp for PMS.

500mg? That is a massive dose! I take 100mg an hour before bed.

I agree......500mg/day is a whole lot of 5htp. Start way, way lower...50-100mg/day, particularly if you're also taking St. John's wort. I take 50mg 5htp at bedtime along with 300 x 3/day Perika and have had great results.
See this site for comprehensive information on 5htp:

Hi SR-
I take one 50mg Natrol 5-HTP three times a day (at breakfast, lunch, and dinner) together with one (standardized 1/3 daily dose) SJW tablet at the same times. I have tried timing my doses in many different ways and have found that, for me, this way is most effective. Best wishes.
