Hello,
I just discovered 5-htp a week ago. I have been taking 300mg a day since. I have noticed a small difference in mood and am trying to be patient with the results. 5-htp seems to help my depression and general anxiety. i feel lighter and more positive in general, but it has not done much to alleviate my social anxiety. If anyone knows of something i could take safely with 5-htp for social anxiety i would love to hear about it. I read about L-Theanine earlier in the week as a possible treatment. I have been taking that in addition to the 5-htp for the past couple of days. is it safe to take l-theanine and 5-htp together. Does anyone know if l-theanine helps social phobia. I would really appreciate any knowledge of effective sp remedies.

I take 5-htp, l-theanine, and l-tyrosine and they are all compatable. In fact, it's encouraged to take a variety of amino acids. They all work synergistically and 5-htp's effect is enhanced if taken with l-tyrosine.

I'm new to this forum, any forum actually, so hope this is the right way to ask a question. What is 5-htp?

Hi
I also suffer from SP.Apparently the combination of 5HTP and L theanine work well together with no adverse interactions. I for some reason have still not taken the 5HTP that I bought yet, but shall do and let you know how I get on. Am also going to try L theanine. THere is a good book called "Natural Highs" by Patrick Holford that you could get, it's most informative about all this stuff. Also have you visited this: www.social-anxiety.org.uk It's a help as others are all in same boat. Good luck. Peptom.

Hi, I suffer from social anxiety and social phobia and slight depression under social conditions. I want to treat myself with the herbal meds.
I started 5-HTP yesterday with 100mg dose. Although, the recommended dosage is 50mg/day, it didn;t help last time when i have taken. SO i have upped it to 100mg twice a day. If this also doesn't work i have to take this thrice a day. I am using Natrol brand.
How did y'all settle for the dosage that works best for you? By hit and trial?
Can any of you tell me what is the dosage with the above mentioned amino acids?
