Is anybody else taking this?

Im finding it very nice and helpful in healing past brain abuse, however the mood swings kindof suck, I herd its only temporary though. Also if I dont take it with food it sure does make me sick.

Just curious to hear others experiences.

I have some at home. I use it pretty rarely. I've not noticed much from it except maybe a slight feeling of well being.

same here.
I save it for when I can't get enough sleep, or get persistent tinnitus

im currently taking it.. keeps me relaxed & in a good mood.

I must take it with food or i get nauseous.. I also like to take it after tripping, cocaine, & especially MDMA.

The brand i have now is NATROL form walmart for about $10 but I actually prefer the solaray brand from wild oats(whole foods market) & that one is like $20 bucks..

Plus it helps out my marijuana high as well.

I try not to use it alot cause i notice a tolerance after awhile..

Ive even tryed the L-Tryptophan pills.. but i prefer 5-htp.

It's not available on the market where I live, but still have tried it. It stabilizes and relaxes me a bit. Not sure if it's worth it.

L-Tryptophan has helped me out a few times comming down from coke, I had to take a massive dose, but man if any of you know what a coke comedown is like for someone with an anxiety problem, you'll totally understand my desperation. It worked well enough, but I wouldnt ever make plans to use that to come down with.

A tolerance eh? I was under the impression it was a supplement and to be taken everyday for a few weeks to get your serotonin levels straightened out? The people at my health food store say people make the mistake of stopping taking it after a few days because of whatever reason, when it should take atleast 2 or 3 weeks of constant use to notice any real effects. But who knows, so far ive only been on it about 5 or 6 days and I love it, been takin some amino acids and zinc as well as some kidney and liver enzymez and some other things as well.

The fda is pushing to have most of these things made illegal, one of which being pushed through right now is a law banning certain forms of B6. So make sure you watch to see what bans are comming so you dont get caught off guard.

coke blocks the reuptake of dopamine. taking a 5-HTP doesn't make as much sense as taking tyrosine, following a coke binge.

Ive never really herd of 5-htp being used after a coke binge, I just thought it was for after mdma.

But thanks for the heads up on the tyrosine, ill be sure to put that in my handy dandy drug notebook.

word. all i know is i feel like shitt sometimes after, usually i drank way too much so water helps too..

but i find when in a bad mood 5-htp(serotonin) & L-tyrosine(dopamine) are the pills i like.. especially after mdma.

so what would help a coke hangover? minus the excessive alcohol intake =]

5-HTP works great in conjunction with melatonin as a sleep-aid.

why would you need 5-htp with melatonin? sounds like a waste.. I just take valerian or melatonin for that..
i guess it also helps control appetite..


idk i just fall asleep when im tired, unless i have to reprogram myself to wake up for a new job or something..

I have both. I'll give that a try and see how that goes next time I can't sleep.

LOL he said tyrosine helps right there, but I constantly dont see things people type in their messages until ive read them 10 times, so dont feel bad.

Melatonin doesn't make me drowsy, but 5-htp does. Melatonin helps me have a deeper sleep, while the 5-htp essentially puts me to sleep. 5-htp seems to work about as well as tryptophan, but it's cheaper.

damm melatonin knocks me out in like am hour of taking it. Makes me dream crazy too.

5-htp i take when i wake up after breakfast gives me energy all day, but i can see it making you sleepy at bedtime too.
