5 htp

[calmday]

Hi there, I have recently stopped citalopram. I've been fine mood wise, except for a slightly low mood in the morning when I wake up. So I've been reading about 5 htp and I've ordered some. Does anyone have any experience of taking 5 htp? I'm hoping it will help stop this low mood in the morning. Thanks.

Bump

Bump. Anyone? My tablets will be delivered today.

My 5 htp has arrived and I've taken the first one

I have some to hopefully help me sleep, but anxiety means I'm reluctant to start!
Will you update how you get on with it?

Yes of course. I've also heard it's good for weight loss which is good as I have a few stones to lose.

I didn't know that! That's it, I'll start tonight!

I've been taking them for about six months. I think they're great. My anxiety, depression and sleep have all improved massively.

Thanks wowbutter that's encouraging.

Can you recommend a good brand? I am through the menopause and am anxious and a bit miserable - and I never was before. This might be my answer.

Hi Hampton, I can't really recommend a good brand as I just bought cheap ones from Amazon. They have plenty on there, it's worth a look.

Well I've had my CPN round and she's reported me to the social services for taking 5 htp so it looks like I'm going to have to stop taking it

CPN? Why have you been reported?

For taking 5 htp! I just wanted to take a supplement to help low mood and anxiety.

have you tried the 5-htp already? I've come across it on a fb page of one UK based company where they offered free sample so I've tried it and it's really helping with my moodiness and anxiety look up brainfeed.health on face book and have a read here: brain-feed.com/low-mood-5-htp-benefits-depression-does-5-htp-work

Reported you
Wtf?
It's a supplement you buy from health food stores why the fck would you be reported for that?
I bought some a while ago but gave up, as I give up on everything that doesn't work straight away
Citalopram is doing nothing for me either
