How do I allocate the dose if you want 5htp to treat my depression and insomnia? If I take throughout the day for depression will that take away the effect on my insomnia and vice versa if I only take at night???
Sick and tired of being sick and tired?? thanks for any ideas??

Here is the dosing guidelines from the book "5htp the natural alternative to Prozac"
Some physicians have found it best to start their patients out by taking 150 to 200 mg at bedtime. If this is insufficient to provide antidepressant/anti-anxiety relief, they can take additional doses of 33 to 50 mg during the day. The number of these doses should be adjusted to a level that provides adequate relief without causing daytime sedation.
If you are taking 5-HTP to enhance sleep, it is probably best to take the entire 300-mg dose at bedtime.
