How to get full advantage of 5HTP?

[PassMeTheVicks]

Whats the best way to take it? One-a-day? or maybe one pill 3X day for the days prior to rolling plus another 2 days after?
How?

WRONG FORUM.
XTC related topics belong in New to XTC or XTC Discussion...better yet read the XTC And 5-htp FAQs in the FAQ forum.

You get the most out of 5-HTP when you eat right, get enough sleep and excersise. Your body will produce enough on it's own.
5-HTP is almost completely worthless as a supplement. Do you know why people don't overdose and get serotonin syndrome from taking too much 5-HTP? Because either it's not converting to 5-HT anywhere within the body, or your brain regulates the conversion of it to 5-HT. You aren't going to boost your serotonin to astronomical levels, but you may get them to normal levels.
Either way, GNC is making a fortune off the ignorance of a bunch of e-tards and health-nut yuppies who are too stupid to just try to live healthy lives.

I beg to differ...no matter what studies say 5HTP does to people, I feel 100% better when I do it after I roll than when I do not do it. I did not believe it would work at all, but it definitely does. I would not roll without it.

Take your 5-htp the day before you are going to drop (make sure you do not eat high in protein foods for dinner, as this can slow the process down) try to wash the 5-htp down with a sugary fruit juice as this helps absorption. I don't really believe in pre-loading as it tends to mellow the fuck out of my roll, but post-loading to me is a must. 200mg of 5-htp on the comedown will help you get to sleep, and restore some of your serotonin. But be warned, 5-htp will help the comedown and make the you feel better quickly, which may prompt you to take more. Make sure you don't! And don't count on 5-htp as being the magical protection to neurotoxity.. it just makes the after-effects more bearable

This goes somewhere else.... not sure exactly where, so I will close it... you can repost that incredible witty and well-thought sentence without my assistance ...
