and I took 2...to see if there are any affects.....well its been 2 hours and I feel very very calm.

Get the L-5HTP which is even many times more potent than 5HTP.

i use to pop a couple of those before smoking joints

i'd get sooooo ripped.... it felt like the first times

they're also supposed to help ease/improve the effects of a night of MDMA'ing


but i found that taking them in a regular situation worsens your sleep... you'll fall asleep faster but be stuck in the lighter stages of sleep instead of getting that deep rest... the next morning after 5HTP i'd feel groggier than normal

I'm not really one for going out and buying any new drug I've just heard about because I think it might help me with depression or whatever. There's way too much dependence on drugs these days IMO

Thought I'd bump this instead of creating a new thread. 5-htp supposedly leads to increased seratonin levels, so I just wanted to make sure of something- why is it that anti-depressants have sexual side-effects and 5-htp doesn't?

Also, does brand really matter with this stuff, or is 5-htp just 5-htp?

This shoudl be in the Health and Fitness forum.

I took it for a while at night to help me sleep better.

I am not sure if I noticed anything dramatic.

However, I saw that somestudies showed some improvement in sleep quality and in males, actually helped agains mild depression.
There plenty of new evidence showing that many males form 18 to their 40s are actually suffering mild depression moreso than what was actually believed. THere's a lot of untreated depression in males now adays, and 5htp was looked at for help in treatement with some good results.

I felt that I slept a little deeper, but didn't feel anything more noticeable other thanthat.

The bad thing is that I saw a study or two that showed a slight lowering of Testosterone levels in men who took the stuff.

whoops I thought it was the health board, I just searched and this thread came up.

anyways, thanks. Didn't know that about the lowering testosterone, though.
