5HTP and ECA

[gonelifting]

Trying to get off ECA and will start using 5 HTP. Anyone know a good reputable brand or is it all the same stuff. I just don`t wanna short change myself.

Also, anyone else do this to get seratonin levels in check? A good bro here recommended it to me. Just gotta order the stuff now from a good place/product.

I`m not sure what the whole seratonin thing is, he explained it pretty well but not great detail as to not bore me, but I would like to hear more.

Any experiences with 5HTP here?

actually i took 5-htp for about 3 months for stress, it helps level you out... but not in a bad way. it wont make you giddy with happiness, but it'll keep you sane... alot of people couple it with 800mg of SAM-E, which in my opinion is just as good if not better... and be sure to take a full B-complex vit. with those supps... It will help absorbtion ten fold.

This might help a little.

Personally I tried to use 5-HTP for appetite suppression only, and I found it completely
useless. Even at 800mg a day. Though it does make you sleepy

I started taking it yesterday. Still too early to tell but I took 50mg on an empty stomach when I got it furing the day, then 100mg on empty stomach before bed. I did sleep well. I don`t know what it was from, but I did STOP taking Valerian root and melatonin at the same time I started this as I was using those two to help me sleep.
