Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I used 5-HTP about a year and a half ago when I was unable to sleep due to excessive stress. It worked a charm. My only complaint is the price! Mind if I ask how it's helping you diet?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I've been taking 200 mg for the past 3 weeks. I am feeling better. I hope that it sticks around. Good to know that I could take 400 mgs for my weight. I'll check out that book. Thanks Lynn! , " Lynn Koiner " <koiner wrote: > > I take it but I find it loses that initial punch after awhile...but I do still take it. Dr. Oz and a DC doctor both say that it can be taken in large quantities, depending upon weight. I weigh about 170 and I take about 400 mgs a day or when I need it. It stimulates Serotonin and this makes you feel like moving and moving is exercise too. > I know that Jim Cary, bipolar, now takes Tyrosine and 5HTP....but probably not at the same time since Tyrosine promotes Dopamine. There is a great book, THE EDGE EFFECT, that discusses all of this. It is great....Lynn > > - > Brenda Lu > > Friday, October 23, 2009 12:10 PM > << >> 5-htp > > > Anyone have any luck with this?
