I found you via searches for info on 5 HTP as an alternative to antidepressants. I've read through some of the posts and am greatly encouraged, impressed with the thoughtful, informative posts, - and honest caring - so, I registered. I won't go into why I'm looking at 5 HTP other than to say that after 8 months of blood tests to MRIs, etc., a doctor gave me Effexor to try. He gave it to me for headaches, inability to concentrate, exhaustion, etc. I had a real bad reaction. My computer was down at the time and I didn't research Effexor before taking it. I'm now in the process of researching 5 HTP, purchased Becalm'd which has 5 mg of 5 HTP in it with some other things. I have an upset stomach and diareah, but now I've read that I should take it with food and this should go away after a while. I've read enough that I'm hopeful that this will give me back some of my brain. Today I did get Natrol's Serotain and will take 1/2 capsule (50 mg) per day with food for awhile and see what happens. I just need my brain and energy back. I can't change my home environment which would probably be a big help in getting my brain back, but at least I can start somewhere so that the rest of my life is hopefully productive. Anyway, I'm glad I found you. I will continue to read through the posts - they are so encouraging. I'm thankful.
