Does 5-htp Lower Sex Drive?
- Thread starter Smokescreen

But I've been doing research all over the web on this 5-HTP. And it does say that it might cause lower sex drive. But other websites don't say anything about it. So rather than just read crap...I wanted to know if somebody actually knows the truth.
200mgs. of 5HTP a day caused me anorgasmia. That was a while back, haven't used it since for that very reason but I did find it very effective for my insomnia and depression.
Agonism of 5-ht2c receptors is suspected to be the main culprit behind anorgasmia.
My libido however was fine, maybe even a little better due to a decrease in my anxiety and improvement in my mood. Just couldn't cum for shit.

serotonin and libido are inversely related so the answer is yes. That is also why all serotinin boosting A/D's mess up libido in general.

while not entirely accurate (the relationship is more complex and involves other neurotransmitters- particularly ratio) it is correct that higher serotonin levles are correlated with lower libido.. in men.
So Macro...would you say taking 5-HTP might screw up my sex drive? I mean...do us BB's really need it? We eat good carbs. We eat good proteins. We train hard. And we sleep like babies. So do US...BB's...need 5-HTP?

why were you wanting to take it? what benefit did you hope to derive? that will be the determining factor as to whether its worthwhile for YOU.
It is somewhat helping me fall asleep while on Tren. But sex drive is #1 for me! I do not want that to go away.
