Hello

5htp works wonders... Ever since I completely depleted my seriton supply about a year ago by eating way to many beas, I have been taking 1 5htp daily. It's been almost a year and I have rolled at least 6 times this year.

However, lately, I find that I can roll off one bean. Even when I rolled off 1.5 beans a week ago. and rolled two weeks before that.

Basically, what I have found is that when rolling with friends. My friends stop rolling way before me and I am still rolling hard for about 5-8 hours longer than anyone else. It gets old after a while...

Anyways, 5HTP, if taken daily for 6 months or more will do wonders for your serition system.

Also, it might cause more vivid dreams. i ahve always had vivid dreams but ever since I stared taking 5htp daily they have been more realistic, bizzar, and easly remembered.

Does anyone know of any negative effect of taking 5htp?

Yes, I am rambling, however I am rolling and this is a roll forum so please deal with it. I believe I have touced on some good questions...
 
If anyone has a question regarding how 5htp works, please let me know. If you catch me before I stop rolling, I will make the explanation very easy to read and understand, hell I will even spell check the damm thing.
 
I haven't seen any medical studys stating that 5HTP does not cross the blood brain barier. However, anything is possible. Could you send me a link to such medial information?

Also, I have been taking 5htp for more than a year now. Currently I am rolling off one bean and rolled off 1.5 beans last week. Lately, when I take the same amount of MDMA as my friends, I roll for like five hours longer than them.

Your probably thinking I am a newbe but I am not. Unfortunatley, I know what it's like to deplete all your bodys seritonin. I have done it...

Furthermore, I have heard that certian medical conditions have been treated with seritonin/5htp supplements. I have seen medical documentation explaining that seritonin/5htp (I don't remember which one at the molment but I do know the difference) can be absorbed by the liver with limited success. If that possibly, 5htp could still have a positive effect even if it does not cross the blood brain barier.
 
5HTP can cross the BBB, some diseases slow this down, but in a healthy person its able to get into the brain. It has to to be effective since if its converted into seratonin elsewhere then its effectively wasted.

That's wrong -- 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier, and very quickly too. Unlike tryptophan, it doesn't need a carrier molecule.

You might have been thinking about 5-HT, 5-hydroxytryptamine - serotonin instead... 5-HT can't pass the BBB, it is destroyed almost instantly by monoamine oxidase. :)
 
And yes, 5-HTP does definitely help one's ability to roll. I also find it has a reverse tolerance. If I take 2 5-HTP one day and two the next, I start feeling somewhat euphoric. The higher I increase the dose, the better the effect.

I actually rolled off these things the other day! Too bad it never built into anything amazing. :( But it was still quite pleasant, made the day fucking awesome!

Probably. See if any of the big websites that sell it will take money orders. Then go to your post office, get an international money order, then fire it off.

It's my view that people use the word "roll" or any other word associated with the MDMA experience too loosely. Just because you took 5-htp and got a mild mood lift does not mean you "rolled". Hell, there may be a placebo effect there to some extent. If I go for a run and feel good I can't say I'm "rolling", and similarly if I drink alcohol feel good I can't say I'm "rolling". Every good feeling and pleasant experience does not have to be compared to the MDMA high. At least, that's my view.
 
i think what he means by 'one of these things' is

'one of these (certain type) of x pills'...???

if not, then yes, refer to your drug dictionary magicalkat..
 
I concur. I've been rolling for around 6 years and took 2 5-HTP caps after my last roll. I had almost no come-down. A friend of mine that sometimes rolls with me came over and thought I had decided not to go out the night before. He said I didn't seem cracked-out at all.

I will keep well stocked in the future.

I've noticed that you can begin to feel the effects of the 5-HTP in about one hour.

It makes its way into the brain fairly quickly because it can readily pass through the blood brain barrier.
 
not surprising... ~1 hour is about the time it takes for stuff to clear your stomach and get into your small intestines...

at least from experience, everything ive ever taken takes ~1 hour to go through. pills, piracetam, speed bombs, etc. anything in pill or capsule form.

You aren't me. I experienced a full-on roll for the period of about an hour. It wasn't a placebo effect, it was a large dose of serotonin flowing through empty channels. :)
 
Although I've never "rolled" off 5-htp alone, I can relate in a similar manner Magikalkat. I've eaten 100 mg (2 capsules) of 5-htp while on the comedown of a roll and noticed a "boost" I guess you could call it about an hour and a half after eating the 5-htp. I didn't peak or anything again, just felt like my comedown reversed itself for a little while.

While we're on the topic, has anyone noticed a difference in different brand 5-htp capsules? I don't know if it's just me or what, but it seems like I'm deffinitely getting an excellent effect off these capsules that I get at this vitamin store in town, however, the brand that a certain well known nutritiun store carries, seems to be an absolute waste of my money. I forget the brand name of the good 5-htp's (store has since closed) but the one's that seem like a total waste is from Oralabs. Anyone else notice anything like this?

Edit- I found it, the brand name for the 5-htp that worked wonders was Natural Balance.
