"SAM-e and 5-htp combo that works for me" , Tue 8 Feb 08:05


I have finally found a way to take them that is working for me.

I take 200mg of SAM-e on an empty tummy usually about an hour to an hour an half before lunch.

I take 50mg 5-htp at bedtime. If I wake in the night I take a little more.

I am finally seeing results. It was just a matter of finding the right dose and timing.

I could not handle more than 200mg SAM-e and I can not take 5-htp during the day.

I am finally feeling better and started sleeping.

Thank god.

I also use essential oils like Holy Basil and Coriander and Lavender and many others both in bath and inhaling.

I have also started eating more healthily too.

It is working!!

By coincidence, I recently started the same combination and dosage (though I take my SAM-e first thing in the morning). So far, it's been working well. The SAM-e seems to give me that "boost" I so desperately need in the morning, and the 5-HTP gives me a deep sleep (as others have noted).

Glad to hear this combo is working for you. Personally, I have not found anything better for sleep than 5-HTP. With it I fall asleep easily and sleep like a baby... without it, well... I really miss the quality and ease of sleep I get with it. Although the antidepressant effect can "poop out" I have not known the sleep benefits to ever stop.

As far as Sam-e, I've been underwhelmed in the past. It seems to work well for a select group of people, for others it does little or nothing. Unfortunately I'm in the latter group.
