Stick with CBD or persevere with 5htp?

I've been taking CBD capsules to help me with anxiety but due to recent personal events it has increased over the last few weeks and I've decided to give 5htp a try as felt CBD just not helping as much even after increasing dosage. Have been taking 100mg of 5htp just once a day and while it really does seem to be helping my mind and mood oh my god it's really not helping my guts at all. I don't know if there is anything I can do other than take immodium along side it but they don't stop the cramps and wind. Anybody else had any luck combating the side effects?

I haven’t found it caused any issues with my bowels. However I was waking up with night sweats when I was taking the capsules. I am back using the oil now and no night sweats.

Perhaps try the oil, or another brand?
