Guest guest Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hi I use both 5-htp and SAM-e on the recommendations of my docs to boost serotonin and other stuff. Sure helps me. And, I also find that Magnesium with the necessary vitamin B cofactors is extremely important. mjh In a message dated 8/1/03 10:40:07 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Zipamour writes: > Does anyone have experience with a supplement called 5-HTP?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Thanks, Jerry, I am not familiar with SAMe, but learning lots now. Can I actually take both at the same time? Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Ziporah, SAMe might be a better choice as a substitute for SSRI - although you might benefit a great deal more by taking SAMe and 5HTP (which is very helpful). Jerry Mittelman, DDS, FAPM - Zipamour Friday, August 01, 2003 10:29 PM 5-HTP? Does anyone have experience with a supplement called 5-HTP? As an alternative to SSRIs, my doc recommended it as a method to boost seratonin because my amino acids salivary test showed that I have almost no tryptophan. Thanks for all ideas.
