Yes. No real opinion except it’s not a placebo. You can feel it. I’m a little uneasy with it because the supplement world is so unregulated.

I may look into stacking other natural supplements onto this 5htp like that L-Tyrosine, L-Theanine most likely. I was taking that veggie powder that had tons of natural stuff in it but i stopped


I dont think this will interfere with my medications because Im not on any SSRI's or SNDRI's like I used to be years ago. I was at dollar general stocking up on food because the shelves were low and saw this and thought "cant hurt to try it"...

yeah i agree, if i keep with this 5 htp, i may look into higher quality pills, this stuff was literally from the dollar store lol

Im looking into a higher quality 5htp and then also stacking with L-Theanine and then L-Tyrosine a month later.



Tons of caffeine combinations with L-theanine on amazon and looks like 100mg is the normal dosage. I wont buy the caffeine ones, but will the other two supplements.

Btw - I do know that some people take 5-htp to soften the comedown off mdma

If it really helps is something I don’t know

cancelled that order, they literally had a part of the back of the bottle that said "NO BS= Bad Stuff" wtf? so i bought a better brand and only 200 mg.


I now take 5-HTP at 9am then another 50mg at 2pm


Melatonin at 2pm and also at 6pm.


L-Theanine once it gets here daily at 9am

Those things do something at least. Prozac is a the dicksoftening scam for me at least

Prozac works for a while but eventually your body gets used to it and it stops being effective.
