...what medications suite you/what side effects your prone to(etc). So I can not speak of you personally, but I remember sering even MDs recomend 5htp(for depression) and it curbing the appetite as well(perhaps you can ask your MD or a neuropath) if this would interact with your current...

...know how. medication‘s haven't worked for me. But honestly, I haven’t stayed on them for more than a few months because of the side effects. 5Htp works but only for a few days then stops working. I cut out refined sugar and grains and that actually worked as well for a while but now it...

@SeedMan is doing some of what I do. I started taking Melatonin and 5htp, too. Prior to these, I could only get 4 hrs of sleep in each night. I would sleep for two hours and wake up and then wait to get tired again. Sleeping was constantly disrupted and bad dreams and nightmares were more...

...with this but I know it makes such a difference - Sunlight. Vitamin D. I also try to make sure I am up on vitamins as this can add to things. 5HTP helps A LOT. I often start taking this when I sense it coming! - Water and Sleep. I'm crap at both! - Focusing. This is HARD when depressed...

Hi again @Abstract I take 5Htp 50mg.. No sugar at evenings I began with Yoga a few months ago and I sleep better! Finishing with Istali pranayama.. it’s a Great breathing technique to self soothe. I was very skeptical with Yoga... but it truly helps! *Sitali sorry not Istali

...the nightmares. 3. What do you do about it? An hour before I want to sleep I stop screens (tv, phone, computer), drink a cup of tea, take a 5HTP, and read. Before I'm done with the phone, I have my nighttime meditation ready to press play. I meditate until I fall asleep 4. Does your spouse...

...it and I hate medications. Now, if I want any chance, I have to start my bedtime sequence about an hour before I want to sleep. I take 5HTP (an alternative supplement that has helped) and make sure I have vitamin B6 in the morning. I have a cup of tea and stop looking at any screens. At bed...

...mentioned I have taken in the same combo for the same reasons. I got off the prozac, prazosin, propranolol, buproprion...etc. What I am new to is the Methylfolate. Which one are u taking? And who or how did u find your sweetspot? Have u considered 5HTP and GABA supplements to replace prozac?

I just got off depakote valproic acid last month. I didnt know it increased GABA. I was on 1500mg for my TBI hypersensitivities. The stuff is harsh on liver. I am going to ask my doc about GABA and 5HTP since he told me something about using magnesium for headaches.

...to the point i could melt into bed and sleep. I started acupuncture and doctor told me to cut back on sugars and cold foods. My back and leg was very sore and heavy during the last session. I know 5HTP helps mood. So GABA could help pain. Hopefully more members can add to this...

...nervous system was too sensitive so we began lowering the ssri. Too much serotonin is not good. Recently there have been threads about GABA and 5HTP supplements. SSRI like prozac is stimulating drug. If you just started it can take awhile to stabilize. For me it took about 4 months. It...

Did you try these? I just started l-theanine, 5HTP, and l-tyrosine. L-theanine is very calming. I’m pretty amazed at how it’s helping me. L-tyrosine and 5HTP are good for depression, when taken together (from what I’ve read), in a 10:1 ratio. I started taking these as well but it will take...

I couldn’t tell too much of a difference. I am on pharmaceuticals now. Not opposed to natural stuff as well.

...bit. What helped me most was drinking kefir, liquid magnesium, and flax fiber. I learned about the leaky gut theory also which affects IBS like symptoms. Sometimes IBS is misdiagnosed. A hyper nervous system also can mimic IBS. Serotonin syndrome is similar from meds and supplements like...

I just recently started on the supplement route. I’m currently taking... Magnesium B12 D3 Vitamin C Iron L-theanine L-Tyrosine 5HTP The last few were just added so I’m not sure how well they work. Apparently I’m anemic as when I added in iron, my HORRIBLY depressive symptoms vanished...

This causes Serotonin Syndrome per a search on here for 5HTP. Serotonin syndrome - Wikipedia The search: Search Results for Query: 5HTP | My PTSD Forum Gives you two pages of posts and threads about 5HTP.

Are you already taking antidepressants? If so 5htp is a no go. Do you have bad reactions to antidepressants? If so you may have similar bad reactions to 5htp. It works for some. The only way you'll know if it works for you is to try it

5HTP is a no go for folks with a lot of different conditions. There is a pretty thorough write-up on it in the book The Mood Cure, although be advised that the author supports its use in certain cases.

...that I’m waiting to order, including zinc, iodine, selenium, etc. Right now I’m waiting for l-theanine (calming), l-tyrosine (depression), and 5HTP (depression). I really hope these help! I’ve heard good things about them all. I just started iron last night. Wtf, apparently I’m anemic. Go...

...he said it only helps with depression and and can increase anxiety. Gave me some studies to look at. I am all about natural healing and I am in the process of becoming certified in certain paths of alternative medicine. I thinks it is great but the misinformation about 5HTP caught me off guard.

...piper methysticum) I have read that Kava may cause liver damage so I try to avoid her, but i haven't experienced yet. What about some herbs ? Or 5htp ? I know, of course, that those things can't cure our problems :-), but may (or may not) be beneficial ? Is there something else, if anything...

...heavily vaccinated as a kid from all the international moving I did every two years. I think this may have had an impact, not sure. Anyways, taking 5htp and working on my depression, with my thoughts. Does anyone else feel like an evil gremlin has taken over their mind, one that just uses fear?

...task. I'm extraordinarily lonely. I don't know how to change that. I need to somehow get my energy up and clean my house. I need to dig out my 5HTP (or whatever it's called) and start taking those. I need to do a lot of things. But as I said before, everything seems gray and pointless. I...

thanks for that- I'd prefer to try a natural helathy supplement program anyways- amino's seem interesting. I was even open to test therapy if it had promise. I'm just realizing I may not be seeing the forest for the tree's so to speak, by being on the SSRI or SNRI's

@Ka-9 I was wondering something on my break here, the 5HTP and an SSRI together but it looks like that got covered. I forget Im in a place where most of us are on drugs. Amino acid therapy as a neurotransmitter boost can be good though. I have had huge improvements myself in the past both...
