I take 5-HTP once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening. That's a total of 150 milligrams per day. The maximum amount you should take per day is 200 milligrams. I take it because it improves my mood and makes me significantly less anxious. I have to take it so frequently because I can actually feel a difference in my mood and anxiety level when I miss a dose. 5-HTP doesn't make me terribly sleepy. However, it can make me zone out from time to time. Hope this is helpful.
Do you guys wake up feeling groggy the next day after taking 5htp the night before? I've been taking it the past few nights and I have been sleeping well but upon waking in the morning and throughout the day I feel groggy and lethargic. I'm thinking this could be caused by the valerian root that is also in these 5htp capsules?
this pill is simply magic! kinda works like extasy for me, makes u happy, extremely talkative and energized, makes u dance and sing and whole 9 yards.. i hope it doesnt wear off and doesnt do harm in the long run, regardless im taking it every single day of my life!
I purchased 5-htp for a mood enhancer after a bad comedown on mdma. I am finding it very helpful as a mood enhancer, its weird because I tried saint johns wart for depression but it didnt do shit, within 3 days of 5-htp I am really noticing a good mood, very content. I take it during the the day also, 3 100mg each a day I dont feel tierd at all, But it does relax you. I normally have social anxiety but this definatelly reduced it by 30-40% if i had to guess, maybe more.
5htp works bottom line!! took away that feeling that the sky is falling. made me feel much calmer and relaxed. slept great. Even though I had alot of stressful shyt going on in my life i didn't feel stressed at all Those of you sitting on the fence try it its organic so dont panic!
i suffer with bad anxiety attacks witch leads to insomnia i was taking street bought
valium up to 60 mgs a week. Would 5 htp be any good for me? I havent taken valium for about 3 weeks now my sleeps messed up and i feel like shit. Thanks
@makerzddd yeah stay away from drugs, they just hide the true cause and fuck you up big time in the end. Try 5-htp and it will help enough to get on with living,but your gonna have to try and focus on the mental part also, try meditation, and all round positive thinking, all day just positive,
I keep seeing info stating that maybe it's not good to take 5-htp supplements w/ vitamin B6, because although b6 is required to turn 5-htp into seratonin, taking the two at the same time will form seratonin BEFORE entering your brain, and seratonin is too big to cross the blood-brain barrier. So some people suggest taking B6 early in the day, and then taking just 5-htp at night-----the screwed up detail is that most 5-htp supplements seem to include B6 as a bonus ingredient! Thoughts, anyone?
I tried this last night . but i dint buy it for lack of sleep i actually got these because i heard they work for mood enhancers . But your not going to belive me . I had the most extreme vivid dreams that i ever had . Try them about 30 before bed and you will be taken to your dream world..
@fallenrival I took it before bed the other night and had a dream I was training for a Magic the Gathering tournament in a treehouse with an NBA basketball court right next to it while ripping bongs constantly. Oh and a blonde girl with her septum pierced came up to me and said "I like you better high than drunk, you're usually just trying to get in my pants"..... yeah....
is it perhaps to take it in the daytime rather than last thing ie to mitage nightmares possibility, or will the beneficial effects actually be lost if i do ? thanks [ would have helped to have said this in vid].
" you should be dreaming each night " .. Actually if you dream alot every night its a good indicator that you dont get alot of deep sleep ... wich is the most important type ... dreams really happens during light sleep or when you are about to wake up ... also its better to take 5 htp during the daytime since it can keep you awake
You shouldn't be taking anti-depressants as well as other medications while taking 5-HTP, so make sure you clarify this when you do these health advice videos. Taking 5-HTP should be part of an overall plan for better health and it's worth mentioning to examine the factors contributing to poor sleep, which isn't always a simple matter of getting your circadian rhythm back on track, but other psychological factors such as stress, post-traumatic stress, sexual abuse histories, etc.
For sleeping yes, but what if I want to take these for my anxiety AND regulate my sleep cycle, more interested in the serotonin benefits, and the melatonin regulation would be a bonus for me ;)
So would I get the same serotonin benefits if I were to take only at night?
Hi , can you tell me what dosage do you take?Im having social phobia and i just started with 100mg in the morning . My other question is , how long should i take this 5htp?I heard 3 weeks and after that 1 week pause!Is this true?
@brockhardman im taking 5hpt now longer then 1 month , i took even 300mg in a day it doesen't work, so im fighting with my phobia bymyself it is hard but im doing my best , the last thing im gonna take is ssri , but i don't want it yet!
@brockhardman Thank again for your answer. Yeah i think i should try it , but i wonder how long do i have to take it.What you think longer then one year?Have a good weekend!
oh, shit, I just bought my first bottle tonight. It's 100 mgs though. I'm about to hit the rack pretty soon, so wish me the best. With any luck this will help me get to sleep and dream like i did with l-tyrosine. I bought this so i could go off tyrosine for awhile, and then back on when the 5-htp loses it's effect.
5-HTP 50mg gives me the most intense vivid crazy life-like detailed dreams ever. I sometimes have conversations with people in the dreams and think about whats going on in the dream and make decisions about what I want to say or do and sometimes I wake up wondering if it was a dream or if it was something I really did because it is so realistic. Even if I am having what I could consider a nightmare, somehow, I never feel panic or fear in the dream, I only feel urgency and importance for survival
