If i take 50mgs of these bad boys a day will i feel any effects??? and if i do how long will it become noticeable???

Thanks :)
 
^what I have known from other people is that the effect is felt slowly in a couple of weeks or so. What are you taking 5htp for?
 
Does it really produce endorphin? It´s a supplement and used for a variety of purposes. You need to evaluate this after 4-8 weeks, if this is what am thinking
 
^just be careful, i believe as per what erikmen mentioned, you cant take it fora long periodof time. Good luck and i hope this works out. Let us know how this effects your sleep.
 
I've taken it. It helped with depression a little but sometimes I couldn't 'feel' where I otherwise would have. Of course it effects everyone differently.
I noticed though it seemed to stop working after a few weeks, so I just stopped, although I wasn't taking a lot. It can keep some people awake, serotonin, while others help with sleep
 
im hoping to have as little adverse effects as possible... hopefully none... but i figure its worth a try... if i experience something that i dont like i just stop taking them and move on with my life and try to find other ways to help me with my mood

So i couldnt find 50mgs so i bought 100mg pills...

i took one the other day and i felt effects that first time that i took it... it was like i felt a little depressed but more relaxed at the same time... and i felt like i was smiling more... it also made me feel sleepy when i was sitting or laying down but when i would start to walk around and do stuff i would feel more energized...

it also seemed like my thoughts were faster if that makes sense...

but overall it made me feel weird mentally which i did not enjoy... i would not recommend taking it... especially after reading the article that guyanapunch had posted...

even though it is not technically a drug, it feels like a drug to me...

Oh! and when i went to sleep i did have weird dreams like i have heard a few people say... i got 7 hours of sleep but when i woke up i still felt really sleepy

I have mixed feelings about it to be honest... i actually did feel way more relaxed... i can see how it can help people who are depressed have a better mood
 
yeah I actually have been looking for a similar thread, and here it is.

Coming off of H/suboxone, and have been taking anywhere between 50-100mg a day, and its day 3 I believe, and I wanna say I feel mildly better, but that could just be to the fact that my WD's are going away, so its definitely to early to call. Ill take a look back in a couple weeks if I can remember =p.
