Hi,
I have been taking this for almost 2 months now, and it has helped my anxiety - 100 mg a day, every night. But its not the miracle cure I was hoping for! Also on another thread it said that 5htp makes you tired all the time, this hasn't happened with me but I normally sleep fine anyway.

I have just ran out and I will order some more but this time I'm going to make more of an effort to watch what I eat, maybe try my yoga dvd and do my relaxation tape every night.

I do think its worth trying, there have been a few days when I have actually felt relaxed.
Good Luck and if you decide to try it have a look at this website.
www.healthspan.co.uk - its called happy days its under £7 for 60 tabs and its free p&p.
Take Care Anna.

Sorry,

Just had a look at the website and its gone up, its now £8.95, I think it was on offer when I bought it.

I still think its quite cheap for a 2 month supply. Anna.

I have been taking 5HTP 50mg at night for the last couple of weeks and really found it has made a difference. I sleep alot better and dont feel as anxious. But then if I sleep well, the anxiety isnt as bad anyway.
I suppose it works differently with everyone but this is the only med (all be it herbal) that has had a positive effect on me. I would recommend it to anyone

I take it occasionally and he really helps me sleep but daytime anxiety still there. Wenjoy x
