I started taking 5htp 1 week ago i thought at first ok thiswill be another supp which wont work coz i dont believe in placebo-
but the first thing which i noticed was an increae in my sex drive. its crazy im getting boner in metro.well this sounds maybe funny but for someone who has libido issues for long this is a gift.
im fwer anxious and its like i looked through a grey veil. i notice when people flirting with me and i feel more calm.
i feel like im 5kg lighter lil bit like very mild xtc.
i know this sounds lil bit crazy but i feel like my body and skin feels more flexible, especially my dick.
its the opposite when i took amphetamine when my dick shrinks, now it feels more pumped.
i know this sounds funny but im not trolling.
its not only that i feel more horny overall.
i feel much more sensual when im touching my neck or when i go through my hair with my finger it feels so nice.
its not the same way when im horny when im on meth or whatever its more positive and the crazy thing is im waaaay hornier then on meth.
meth made me horny yes and wanted me watching porn for hours but it wasnt a positive hornyness, it was fulfiled with anxious honryness i would guess.
now i feel this more emotional honryness and the weird thing i dont wanna watch porn when i watch porn it turns me off.
i feel more connected with people sometimes.
so like i said very verymild xtc, the difference from xtc is that it does not makes me awake 5 htphas a more calm effect on me not an upper effect.
 
No I don’t think that’s a good idea... supplementing only one neurotransmitter precursor Will effect the balance of neurotransmitters

Administration of 5-HTP alone facilitates depletion of dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine”

From the same article
“Dopamine and serotonin amino acid precursor administration must be in proper balance. If only 5-HTP or 5-HTP that dominates dopamine at the enzyme is administered, it will block dopamine synthesis at the AAAD enzyme through competitive inhibition, leading to depletion of dopamine and the rest of the catecholamines.”
and
“Long-term administration of 5-HTP alone, or in an unbalanced manner, facilitates depletion of catecholamines, negatively affecting neurotransmitter-related disease processes”
 
I think i took too much now im very very depressed its the third day i feel like that.
Maybe it could be because of the promithizin i took on monday once ?
