Inositol and 5-htp sides

[faller]

I used to take 5-htp and zonked out within an hour of taking it (and usually I was trying calm down to study, not sleep). I really had no sides other than that. There have been studies on fish oil for fighting depression as well. I take that daily for a variety of reasons and have stopped taking st. johns wort as I don't think it is needed any more. Not saying the fish oil helped per se though.

Please be careful with any anti-dep. drug, many will kill your sex drive. And for most of us this is one of the reasons we start getting depressed in the first place.

5-htp made me too groggy the next day

I used 5-htp in the past, when I worked in bars. At first, the stuff was working pretty well but then I had to constantly increase the dosage and it became useless. Now L-Tryptophan is another game and much more effective. At least for me...

Where are you guys finding cheap powdered form of Inositol? I have been wanting to try it but where I used to work and other supplement stores always jack up the price on it since it is used by dealers to cut coke up. Any online sites selling it for a decent price?

I always use 5-HTP is accordance with MDMA use. I find that 5-HTP is paramount in its ability to help restore serotonin levels back to baseline, and thus diminishing any lingering after effects.
