    Self-Medicating To Get Some Sleep

    5htp (hydroxytryptophan) helps, as long as you take it half an hour before you go to bed and make sure you get the kind that does NOT have b6 in it. It's an herbal supplement. I take benadryl, which is diphenhydramine. Like Lionheart777 said, it's in tylenol pm and is also in advilpm. It's the...

    ...and herbs I use to take when I didn't want to be on the prescription meds due to the side effects (a certain combo of Valerian, Kava, 5HTP, Nevaton, and St. John's Wort that my doctor prescribed me that would mimic a low dose effect of the prescription meds).

    ...in one dose, so you don't have to buy a bunch of different things. The book I read was "Depression Free - Naturally" and the woman talks about 5HTP not being safe if it's not taken with another substance (it's in the book...can't remember the name) due to dangers of too much serotonin...

    PTSD and The Loss of My Twin Babies

    Lolabrigitta - I have not heard of this one and have been looking online. I can get it here in the states and think it would be worth a try. Do you know how much a day your husband is taking of the 5HTP? Just curious. Thanks.

    Multiple Questions

    ...straight on and rid myself of them. What I would like to know, though, is if there is anything that can be used to stop that cycle. So far, 5HTP has been helping me a ton over the years. Also, benedryl helps my mind heal by forcing good rest at night. But that is the best I have found. SSRI's...
