"5-HTP" , Fri 26 Mar 07:14


Hi, I'm completely new to this so please bare with me, I have come across this site by accident but I'm so glad I did as it looks really interesting. I'm posting about 5-HTP and basically I'm just wondering if it's any good, as I went to the health shop yesterday told them I was feeling run down, fat and tired, and the shop assistant recommended 5-HTP. Could someone tell me - do I start off with one tablet at night or should I take more. and is it any good??? Any help would be really appreciated, Thanks!

I started taking 5-HTP a couple of days ago (for mild OCD symptoms and insomnia). Just 50mg one hour before bedtime with a lihgt meal. I just feel it's safer this way.

Peace,
luz

Thanks Luz, do you think it's helping you? or do you think it's too soon to tell? I don't know about you but I've read a few horror stories on this site about 5-Htp, but saying that I did buy from a health shop so i'm thinking that should be ok! I think I'll start like you though and just take the 50mg!

Yes, I guess it's a bit soon to tell. Besides some mild side-effects (very mild) I am experimenting some change regarding sleep. Not sure if for better or for worse, actually. So I will keep my 50mg dosage, that's for sure.

Peace,
luz

What kind of changes are you experiencing in your sleep LUZ? my sleep has been becoming longer with less awakenings but I end up waking up more tired than usual.
