Hope that's a help for you.

MD, I tend to agree with you, I had 200mg of 5htp my first time, on an empty stomach and 1/2 hour later had stomach cramps which lasted 2 hrs. They weren't all that bad but still noticable for the two hours. Try having them with a meal, I have had no further problems. Although another time I had 200mg when I got to work at 8am one time, and was nearly asleep by 10:30. Aparently seretonin production makes you sleepy. I take this as a good sign, as I am obviously in the swing of producing the good stuff!

'Daq & friends.
I also recently felt queasy on the weekend after taking 5htp. Thought I might do the technicolour yawn. Funnily enough I had some semi-spicy Thai food and was right as rain, Bobs your uncle and Syd Barrett is mine, etc.

Unfortunatly pkn, If you do have them on a full stomach it would be a waste, these babies need an empty stomach to properly cross the blood/brain barrier.
 
Well, shit goddamn Braggie! This I did not know. The 5 htp I received from iherb (Ultra L-5-HTP says "take 1-3 capsules with a meal, or glass of water." Guess I might go with the latter. Thanks for the info, I certainly want the maximum out of my beloved 5 htp.
Cheers.

yup indeedy do. feeling like throwing up is definitely one of the side effects of taking a high milligram dosage. if i hadn't lost all of my old bookmarks on my computer, i'd be able to put the stuff on i remember reading! just reduce your dosage a little, or take half then half again a half hour later. nothing worse than pukin'!
 
i always take my 5htp with a light meal, even if it is just a banana.........and never had probs with nausea and they still do their job!!!!!
i also eat before i go out, so i never go on an empty stomach for too long, maybe that makes a difference also........

5-htp was taken off the market in Aus after some ppl had some pretty serious side effects from taking it...like bone marrow dysfunction. but i think it was a pretty rare thing, only a few ppl for every 10,000 or so were affected.
also did anyone notice that their dreams were much more vivid after dosing with 5-htp. the first time i had 5-htp my dreams were in technicolour, and i could remember exact details, rather than having a fading memory. only happened the first couple of times i took it though.
 
hehe knwoing my luck id be the one in 10000

i'd be interested if anyone can dig up sources on what exactly is up with that bone marrow thing.
as for intense dreams, yup, id have to agree, it works everytime for me. and i tend to wake up happy in the morning. its a wierd sorta artificial happy that sorta just clouds over the usual morning gloom, but it sure makes getting out of bed easier.
a good mix that i use whenever i need a good nights sleep is 100mg of 5htp and 1000mg of Valerian. i think thats how big the tablets of v i take are, they are kinda horse pill like. anyways it seems to work nicely.
 
i believe he is a bit mistaken. Tryptophan was taken off the market a while ago coz of an outbreak of a rare disease due to some contaminated batch a long time ago. This is the same in the states as well.
5-HTP isn't in Aust yet as its a relatively new product and has not been approved for sale yet.
 
I don't know if this is what you call a side effect but i guess it is.
The stuff is so good at doing what it claims you can have bit to much faith in it and things can get a bit to regular.
I'd been out every weekend for two months no probs (1-2 pills, 1 night a weekend) and everything was great, actaully never better.
Then along comes easter and i have this great confidence that 5-htp can do what i now realise is impossible and help you pill for 4 days straight. Well it worked fine for 2 and half days - coping well - pills working and then i tripped out bigtime for the next day and a half (4 days with 3 hours sleep and very little food)and afterwards was majorly sick in bed sleeping 18 hours a day for a week with a major respitory system infection.
Moral of the story - 5-htp is good but the side effects can be that you think - i'll be right, got plenty of 5-htp. Not true, you still need sleep and rest and plenty of vegies.
Please learn from my stupidity and allways use 5-htp but pill in moderation!!!!!!!!!!
 
I don't think the nausea thing is anything to do with the drug actually in the pill. It is just your stomach's inability to cope with such a strong concentration of chemicals in one tiny pill.
Eat something with it, or swallow it with a glass of milk.
The same thing happened to me once. I had saw this jar of pills in my brother's room that were labeled 'MEGA-MULTI-VITAMIN PILLS!' They were big bastards. So I took one on an empty stomach, and bam, 15 mins later I throw up. Tasted like shit too.
