I take 5HTP. Can you tell me how much you take and does this really work?

Thank you so much for bringing up this topic...Lynn

<< >> 5HTP and SAMe

 

 

Does anyone know if it's o.k to take both SAMe and 5HTP? BTW, have been

taking 5HTP for fibro and wanting to take SAMe for SAD.

I generally take 100 mgs. 2 times a day but I did start with 3. It

seems to help; it's supposed to reduce anxiety and muscle pain as it

elevates the seratonin levels. I do find it helps me relax to go to

sleep and I will take it with Valerian or Calms Forte. Some nights I

take a melatonin, instead. BTW, it is enteric coated which is the

preferred and also, you shouldn't take it with MAO inhibitors or

SSRI's. Has it helped you, Lynn?

Hi Pink - I feel that it has been losing its effectiveness, even though I take

400 mgs. Howover, you other suggestions here are most helpful...Lynn

Just an update here; I've been on SAMe (dropped the 5HTP cause I

wasn't sure about taking them both) for a few weeks now and have

noticed a significant difference in my mood especially as we have had

gloomy weather (no sun) for about a week now. I'm very pleased with

the results! BTW, I've also increased the Vit D.

I can tell you why I do not take Tryptophan. One of the side effects is heart

palpatations and, after a 2nd dose, my heart races.

Now, I must confess that this was the tryptophan that was on the market before

it was banned. I do not remember if it was L- or something else. After the

ban, 5HTP was on the market.

Is this L-Tryp a different type? If so, I will try it. The 5HTP was wonderful

(300mgs) and then, all of a sudden, it stopped working. I am so disappointed.

Can anyone help me on this? Lynn

work much better.
