I suffered from cycles of mild to moderate depression all my life. Eventually, the depression combined with anxiety. After reading the book "The Mood Cure," I tried 5-HTP. It said in the book to start with 50mg, but the supplement I bought came only in 100mg tablets (I bought it at Walmart: 30 Tablets for ca. $ 13.00). I started taking one 100mg pill before bedtime and I had the best night's sleep in years. It started relaxing me and within a half hour or so, I was soundly asleep. It does give me some vivid dreams, which is a side effect I can definitely deal with, and I wake up refreshed in the morning, in a good mood and ready to start my day. It really has been a life saver. I have been taking it for a couple of months now, but will stop taking it for a couple of days so I won't build up immunity as another reviewer mentioned.

i only take 50 mg when the blues show up. it definitely does work like a charm. it works quick.. usually within an hour or so. i'd like to suggest users consider 'only' take as needed, as you would a valium. if you are depressed for a day.. and can't shake it via your own efforts, take the 5-htp. or for a week.. or whatever however long to get over the hump. stop taking it when you feel better, or at least start skipping days to lighten up and phase off it until you need it again. i have never taken it for any duration, but i have read about others that have developed a tolerance. this supplement is a gem.. and not something you may want to develop a tolerance for. you want it there working when you need it.. and using it as a preventative measure when you feel fine carries a risk of developing a tolerance and it losing its effectiveness for you

I'm In Shock: This Really Works I am here reviewing 5-HTP with the sincere hope that someone will read it, and try it. I had been feeling very depressed for the better part of a year and had made the decision to approach my doctor and request an anti-depressant. I was loathe to do so, as I'd been on Paxil as well as Wellbutrin and did not like the side effects.

But I had to do something: I could barely get up in the morning; making conversation with my three kids was a colossal effort, and the future appeared a grey wall infront of me. My confidence was low, I had very little energy, was not sleeping well, and basically woke up every morning gripped by some unknown dread that actually began to scare me. I felt like a terrible mother and began to seriously wonder if they'd all be better off without this irritable, depressed person looming over their lives everyday. Most disturbing was how anti-social I'd become; this stemmed from my depression which left me feeling worthless and unable to put on a happy face for people. It was better to be alone.

I began researching natural alternatives, and came upon a book about 5-HTP. I bought some at my health food store, along with a high-potency B-complex (100mg strength), and L-Tyrosine (500mg). I had already been taking the L-Tyrosine but learned that taking it all by itself was probably not very beneficial.

So, I started my new regime, taking 50mg of 5-HTP in the morning, along with my L-Tyrosine, and again before bed with my B-complex. I spent the next few days feeling very tired, so I now take 100mg of 5-HTP before bed. I have never slept so well since I was teenager. I wake up feeling great, relaxed, and refreshed. But here's the best part: I feel great. My mood has completely lifted. The other day I was tying my son's shoelace and noticed that I was singing. When my kids talk to me now, I'm laughing and participating. My confidence is up - I'm going out more and after 6 years as a full-time mother, I think I h

I had been suffering from anxiety and bouts of depression. The doctor put me on Efexor which worked great, but I stopped taking it after hearing about the horrible withdrawal symptoms. I got some withdrawal symptoms, worst of which was the rebound depression which made me feel like crying for hours on end most mornings.

I read about 5-htp online and started on 25mg and gradually worked up to 100mg over some weeks. I have found it to be a lifesaver for depression. It has basically taken away the constant sad feeling, I still tend to get depressed if I drink so I have taken a break from drinking to allow my serotonin levels to build up (as alcohol depletes these). I now only get a bit depressed now and then. It has helped a fair bit with anxiety as well, mainly because my head is clearer.
