    Unhappy 5HTP

    Hello everyone. My anxiety is very bad at the moment but I am worried about taking prescription meds. I have been researching on the net about 5HTP which it seems is good for reducing anxiety as well being used for depression. I am just wondering whether anyone has tried it and if so, could you give me some much needed feedback please! Many thanks, Maz x

    I tried some of that ages ago, it did seem to have some sort of anti-depressant effect but also had quite a few side effects for me personally.

    Gave me a dizzy drowsey sort of feeling and really upset my digestive system, my stomach and guts are pretty delicate tho. It totally reduced my apetite, and I didn't think the benefit outweighd the negatives so I stopped taking it.

    Re: 5HTP

    I have tried most things, this being one of them. I found it to be of some benefit and definitely worth trying in my opinion. It didn't make my anxiety go away but it did lift my mood - so although I was still worrying, I was happier when doing so!

    Does that make any sense?

    I've been on an unsuccessful hunt for ages for something that will actually stop the thoughts - I guess I'm never gonna find it, but I found the 5HTP improved my mood a lot.

    Hi Lass. I am definitely going to try 5HTP. My doc gave me some diazepam yesterday but I'm scared to take them-I was on them before and felt really groggy. It's good that the 5HTP lifted your mood-hopefully it will work for me too! Thanks for your advice!
