Is that pharmacologically (ow whatever) possible? or did I just placebo myself?
I have taken it quite a few times now to try and treat a slumps in mood or general irritability.
So I took it again recently to experiment with it giving me a mood lift to help give me a little nudge which it seemed to do. That 1st time it gave me a mood lift within one hour as I remember it to have done and a slight fuzzy feeling which tailed off after a few hours IIRC and then I didnt notice anyhting again until a few days of continued use where the mood lift came back. I stopped taking it after a couple of weeks when I noticed mild cold like symptoms and post nasal drip and that went away as soon as I stopped (I may have had a cold but it felt more like the 'druggy' flue like symptoms you get from intoxicants and your body clearing them out).
So my main query is if its possible it could give me positive effects so soon after taking it? I understand the MAIN effects would come after it builds up in the system but why couldnt it cause a little boost right after taking it since most psychoactive drugs work in an hour or under so why cant a herb? Of course the effects wont be as pronounced but still you could feel SOEMTHING couldnt you?
Im interested in if this is possible or placebo cos ive been reading up alot on hypnosis recently and how that is just INDUCING a placebo state so if it was more likely placebo I might as well just try self hypnosis as that pips even herbs in terms of side effects. I think Ill do that anyway and see how I go with it cos even 5htp im not happy about using habitually but figured it was better than self medicating with stimulants like i used to- 5-htp being a 'lesser evil' and all- a big step in the right direction but if hypno worked then that would take the cake.
