5HTP works wonders...

About the 5htp not being able to cross the blood brain barrier. I remember reading somewhere on bluelight that if you mix vitamin b6 and 5htp they will react and and the 5htp transforms into 5ht and this can`t cross the blood brain barrier. Could this be what you rememberered?

As for how fast 5htp works. I feel happy and slightly euphoric right after I take them and then I get rushes like 15 min after ingestion. And I remain happy for the rest of the day.

While we're on the topic, has anyone noticed a difference in different brand 5-htp capsules?

I bought a bottle of "5htp+" in a smart drug store on my amsterdam holiday, and the brand is Sirius.
I use them before & after rolling to be sure there is serotonin in my brain, and I never get "hangovers" from rolling.
When just eating a 5htp capsule, I feel instanly (10 sec) better, probably placebo, and after an hour so, just happier and relaxed

^^ that's definitely placebo. The capsule doesn't open in ten seconds

I swear by 5htp for my "recovery time." I have yet to try it during my roll, tho i know those who do and swear by it. It does give me some crazy dreams tho...

I peaked off one pill for over 5 hours once, thanks to ample amounts of 5-HTP, and Vic C tablets. Not to mention female company.
