This is my 4th day taking 5-HTP. It has actually been helping with my depression and giving me a lot more energy during the day, but it has also been causing really bad insomnia at night. The past few nights I’ve felt really restless, had racing thoughts, and only gotten a few hours of sleep.
Is this just a temporary symptom that will get better in time? I’ve taken some anti-depressants in the past that gave me insomnia for a couple nights, but then got better. Does my brain just need to adjust to taking 5-htp, or do I just need to stop taking it? I really like the anti-depressant effect, but can not deal with this insomnia much longer… Ive just been taking it in the morning the past few days, but I still can’t seem to sleep. Is this normal?
Help!
