    Re: 5-htp pills

    It does depend on the strength of the tablets ,regarding how many you take each day .Too much can cause probs /side effects .There is however contradicting statements regarding this Its better to start on a low dose and build up slowly ie 50mg .Doses over 100mg a day often cause troublesome side effects . Some can tolerate 200mg It does cause tiredness and irritability if you are taking too much .Supplements of this kind should always be taken with the advice of a Dr Sue
