  • 5HTP is the overnight cure for depression. It works best taken immediately before bed. It saved my business, marriage, and life. I went from tying nooses and not returning phone calls to playing soccer and socializing... it works.

  • @punctualbird Wow!

  • Try l-tyrosine ... much better drug .. also try gaba ... make you feel great clear and focused...

  • Thanks for the recommendations.

  • hi, what time do you take these at?

    i presume your taking them a night but won't the anti-depressant effects ware down by the next day

  • Actually, I usually just take one in the morning; I"m a morning-bird, crash by 3:00 and need a nap kind of girl anyway, so I haven't noticed that it makes me more drowsy during the course of my day.

  • Thanks so much for this. I'm a 28 year old healthy guy with no medical problems and I started taking 5HTP after a bodybuilder friend recommended it to help with sleep since I lift weights. I take 150mg per day and I personally saw a big difference in my overall outlook on life and how positive of an attitude I can maintain right away. Basically after starting on 5HTP now I feel perfectly fine all the time. It has been a major boost in my journey towards a more positive and productive life.

  • I know this is gonna sound like a really stupid question, but how should you take 5HTP? Do you just swallow it with water before bed, or after a meal? It says on the pack of mine "take with food", so does that mean I mush it into my food and just swallow it as I eat it? Sorry I've never taken supplements and I'm just trying to avoid getting any tummy upsets or anything lol. =P

  • i started taking 5htp100mg about 4 weeks ago also for the same reasons that you did. staying up to late and then waking up 4-5 times per night. i am a Group fitness Instructor plus lift weights and need my much needed Zzzzs to recover. i was taking it at night but noticed that i was sleeping in very soundly at 8am so I started taking it in the afternoon and see if that would help with getting to bed earlier then being more alert by 6am. we shall see how this works.

  • Was just trying to find information on 5HTP and this was perfect. THANK YOU :)

  • I was recommended this from my herbal doctor 2 years ago... I stashed it in my closet and never looked back.. Recently i've been feeling like i just need i little extra push. I stumbled across these pills and remembered what i was given them for. After just one night of being on them i felt like such a better person and had a lot more energy and will to do things..... I am very happy with this product and thanks for sharing your story

  • Just to add a thought... 5-htp is subtle. But so is depression when you consider it. Depression sort of.... puts everything through a dreary lens. Nothing seems to warrant excitement. 5-htp remedies that. It clears that fog of pessimism. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who is concerned about their mood or outlook-on-life. It will help better that.

    p.s.: It did have an effect on my appetite. I felt fuller after most of my meals, as in I didn't ever feel a need to snack.

  • i know drugs are bad..i had some xtc and a few days after i started having attention and short term memory loss. will this help with memory and attention.

  • thank you amanda you are as beautiful as you are smart
