I don't know if this is possible but I have been taking 5-HTP every day for the past 2 weeks and everything has been cool. I always take 100 mg per day. But I rolled on Tuesday night and I am going to roll again tonight so I decided to take a little bit more so that my serotonin level would hopefully be higher. Stupid I know but I did it anyway. Well now I feel like shit and I don't know if I want to go out tonight. I'm just wondering if it is possible that I could have gotten sick by taking more or if something else probably caused it.
This sucks because I am supposed to get off work in about 2 hours and go to Quest but now I might just go home. =(
Hope everyone else is having a good night.

I think taking 5-htp every day for any long period of time is a little over the top, you need to let your brain reproduce it naturally sometimes otherwise it could lead to problems, ie, your brains so used to 5-htp doing the work that it forgets how to. Preloading/postloading and a little for the early mid week blues should be fine, also eatting bannanas is good for you, and they taste yummy

You could try saving all the peels and making some bannanadine powder, I think you need about 15 Lbps of bannanas though and eatting all that fruit could lead to problems in the toilet department, I havn't tried it yet.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. I ended up going even though I didn't feel that good and I am glad I did. I had an awesome time!! I had a couple A1's and they kept me dancing all night. I didn't want it to end. Mars and Mystre ended the night and they are just godly. Anyway I just got home now and I am still rolling. Good shit = )
Hope you all had a great night too.

Just thought I'd throw in an interesting fact relating to that banana thing
Fact- I read somewhere on the web that eating 10-12 bananas is the equivalent of 100mg 5-HTP.
