Dangers of 5-htp

[Tha One CrumCake]

so your body does develope a tolerance to 5-htp then?

Your body can build a tolerance up to anything, if you do enough of it. For it's FULL BENEFITS, take it three times a week or less.

what works even better is L-Tryptophan--Makes you feel happy.

No. You are wrong. 5HTP is one step further toward serotonin than l-trypyophan (tryptophan converts to 5HTP converts to Tryptamine (serotonin)..... 5HTP is by far the better choice. Besides, L-tryp was taken off the market by the FDA.... at the same time as Prozac was released.. and for no real reason... (a contaminated batch). United States policy is to try and stop any supplement that may harm pharmaceutical sales from staying on the market....... (I have the papers that state this).

I use it every day along with inositol and St. Johns Wort.... I don't believe that any tolerance develops.

5-Htp

IS it legal to buy in the US? If so, where do you get it from? If not, where do you get it from?

 

[dieslgrl]

you can buy 5-htp just about at any health food store with a wide variety of supps...

I take it everyday, and when I run out of a bottle and don't get a chance not to get one right away, it doesnt' hurt me one bit... I like to roll, and it keeps me even pretty much all the time.

I may have to try this. Does anybody know if GNC sells it?

They have it at Walmart, it's no miracle drug tho... I used to take some before and after doing E, but I really wouldn't expect too much out of it. Think of it this way, 5htp is to anti depressants what prohormones are to juice.

LOL. I used that shit after rolling (southern for taking exctacy). It restores your seritonin levels back to normal, as MDMA suppresses them in the long-term. It seems you may have abnormally low seritonin levels if 5-htp it effects you when your sober. If you didn't know, the more seritonin you have, the happier and more relaxed you are. This is what exctacy does; makes your levels skyrocket. But of course, what goes up, must come down. And down does it go! Glad to see it's helping you out though.

As for your question, I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it's working, that's great. Your body may develope a tolerance, in which case you should stop taking it, but if not, I don't see why you should stop taking it if it has such a positive effect on you. Then again, people have changed their mindset just by temporary administrations of medications. In other words, the 5-htp is showing you how you COULD be...your mind is adjusting its perspective...thus, when you come off of it, you will be better off than you were before you started it. Make sense? Good.

I suspected it sounded too good to be true.
