correct, 5-htp is effective in raising seratonin levels, its available at just about any health food store

do you know what happens if you take it then stop....

 

[HappyScrappy]

why do you want this? are you looking for a non-script ant-depressant? or some sort of E recovery system?

the system that seratonin is controlled by is something that I wouldn't fuck with - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

and if it is broken - then see a doc.

do you know what happens if you take it then stop....

100 mg a day.

i've heard 5-15 g at bedtime of L tryptophan be recommended for sleep aid. the ratio of l tryptophan : 5HTP is 5:1. so 15 g l tryptophan is 3 grams 5HTP.

of course i got high on dextromethorphan too. 2 serotonin increasing drugs + instant stopping of 5htp = serotonin syndrome

 

[MommaKin]

well, ya..the dextro shit will do that....
I've taken 500-600mg of 5-htp a day.....not a big deal......not everyday though.....l-trytophan is far more dangerous, as it is unprocessed.....when you take l-trypto, it gets processed in your body and then turns into 5-htp.....some ppl on here have taken l-trypto.....5-htp is processed and much safer.....
Your bets bet, 3V, is to go read about it....cause if I never read about 5-htp and I read this thread, I'd be scared to take it.....I did alot of research before I started taking it.......
