...Effexor isn't an SSRI. It's an SNRI. They have a different mechanism. However, the problems are nearly the same - what you need to avoid with 5HTP and any SS- or SN- RI is too much seratonin. Seratonin syndrome can make you very, very sick. I take effexor and wellbutrin, and for me, it's...

Funny...but the new GP doctor told me to take 5HTP and the effexir.... I'll definitely check into that...I didn't think it was feeling so shit hot to be honest. Maybe the SSRI's are bad for me. I've taken them so bloody long to avoid panic attacks, and depression- I was scared to not take...

I didn't find anything miraculous result wise with the 5HTP TBH, so I tend to agree. For effexir I'm on 75 1 x daily, highest ever was 112.5 (broken up 2x daily) but I requested it down as I was afraid of getting dependant on higher and higher dosages. I know I should have blood work.... I'm...

I'm getting a bit desperate- I use Effexir and 5HTP currently- but feel like shit, and simply cannot get any energy/interest/life back in me. My panic attacks ceased largely - but I'd rather have them back than be here to be brutally honest. My Pyschologist desperately wants me to try some...

hi, i have also been helped using 5htp for seratonin. now i use the L theanine. same good. it blows my mind the stuff is found in green tea! no wonder i have always known its so good for me.

...with a combo of Zoloft and ativan in the past but the therapist said medication can hinder progress in EMDR. I tried a natural supplement called Anxie-T last night, it made me feel loopy but did calm me down from a panic attack. Have tried 5htp as well and that helped some. I just want it to...

...is the name of it. There are other options...check on Good Therapy or Psycology Today ...search to Therapist and ask if they have interns....or chk colleges in area,or local government help lines Depression....have you had a physical? Have you tried Sam E 400, or 5HTP...natural for depression

...blood panel), Omega 3, and then my birth control and daily ibuprofen as well as and making healthy diet changes and meditating. I'm considering 5htp as well. I'm scheduled to see a psychiatrist who my psychologist recommends in just over a week. I am obstinate against having more medication...

The doctor did not guide me regarding 5htp :) The herbal pharmcist lady did. I just went in and asked if they had something that might help with PTSD. Not all herbal products are illegal in Denmark, but 5htp are :) She told me it was because of the competition with the drug compagnies. I am...

Oh HOW EXCITING!! COngratulations CrazyHorse. And yes, I can also vouch for 5htp (Or L-Tryptophan in my case) as being a totally awesome substitute. I discovered it at a festival a few months ago and take it when I feel down. It really works wonders. So happy for you. :) Hope you are doing the...

Thank you very much Philippa! :-) I got the 5htp from a 'herbal pharmacy' and they are actually illegal here in Denmark, so no doctor involved :/ The supplement I was taking (stopped about a month and a half ago and still feeling great:-) ) has B6 and B3 in it.

@CrazyHorse - How much 5htp are you taking? I was looking it up online, and they have everything from 50mg capsules to 200mg capsules. Meds have not really worked on me, so I was debating about trying this. :) Any input on what dosage to start with?

*runs off to try 5htp* So awesome that you're feeling better! I agree with you and your doctor that continuously talking about the trauma in therapy isn't good (after a point). Thank you for this post! It gives me renewed dedication toward healing in that I need to overcome one of my biggest...

...and took one every evening before bedtime. I sincerily hope it can help you as much as it has helped me! :) P.S I have to comment that if you are already on any kind of anti-depressive there is a risk to develop 'serotonin syndrome'. So do not take 5htp if you are currently on anti-depressives!

Woke up to a thunderstorm, strong wind and lashing rain. Another welly boot day. I would really like to hibernate. Thank goodness for 5HTP

...people going elsewhere for their "fix", and like you say, not being able to patent it would be a major reason, as it was with L-tryptophan or 5htp. I find it so interesting and frustrating at times, that so many supposedly scientifically minded skeptics poo pooh all this and continue to...

...the same kinds of nasty withdrawal symptoms. She claims they work better in combination. For depression: saffron extract, rhodiola, SAMe, 5HTP, fish oil For anxiety: california poppy, ginkgo, hawthorn, passionflower, valerian, skullcap, bacopa Personally, I use cannabis a lot to manage my...

...he did also plant a seed of hope in my mind and a belief in my own ability to beat this thing. When I got out of the hospital, I started takeing 5htp. An herbal anti-depressive. I honestly did not expect an effect at all, but after a week or so, I noticed a massive change in my thinking...

Just to let you know that 5HTP is supposed to be helpful when coming off of anti depressants - I have got some here and we have both just started to take this... keeping everything crossed for anything that may help even a little bit.... Good thing is hubby has even been to the gym in the past...

...out there have much lower dosages. I'm taking St Johns and have been combining it with many other serotonin enhancing agents (melatonin, 5HTP, SSRI's etc) and have not suffered with Serotonin syndrome yet. I think you would have to overdose or be highly sensitive to have any problems. My...

When you say she has no concerns, that is presumably based on her knowledge of you and her general monitoring of your medications. (If not, I'd be alarmed!) As patients, we need to always check. There are a number of medications on the list for possible interactions with St John's Wort...

...magnesium citrate and B-6. I could basically stop taking all my meds if I eventually decided to do this. No more sleep aids, no more anti-depressant prescriptions. I have read about the 5htp and am still a little reluctant, I'll be reading about it all to make sure I don't do anything retarded.

...GABA Calm-sublinguals. theyre 125 mg but I probably take about 8 a day. They're about 7 bucks at sprouts or whole foods. I ran out of GABA and 5HTP the other day and all my symptoms came back full force. I didn't even realize how much they were helping me until I didn't have them. At the same...

...way through my diary, probably the worst ever - just chalked it up to my brain processing old files, that type of thing. But that's just me. The 5htp sounds interesting. I may try it myself. I still have to re-do some of my diary and write about the past, and I figure there'll be symptoms or...

...They're afraid I'm getting dependent on them. Well, yeah, I am. If I don't take them I'm ten times worse than I was before. Even with GABA and 5HTP I STILL have awful symptoms! They're just a little more under control is all. Basically it comes down to where I feel they don't care. They've...
