Here is a summery of my experience with 5-HTP. I usually take 2-3 caps (100mg each) before bed.

- I broke up with my fiancé 2 months ago and have been extremely upset and down about it ever since. Taking 5-HTP has definitely helped me to stay a little more positive and a LOT less depressed about it.

- I think it helps me get to sleep but not by much. One thing I have noticed tho is I wake up feeling seriously refreshed!. Maybe too refreshed. Before I started using 5-HTP I would often wake up tired especially on sub 8 hours sleep. If possible I would always try to sleep in so that I had ~10 hours sleep. With the 5-HTP even if I wake up after only 6 hours, I feel refreshed and actually want to get out of bed. I can't even get back to sleep if I want to. Previously I was an expert at forcing myself back to sleep :P I'm not sure if the 5-HTP is a good or bad thing here because sometimes after physically taxing myself at work and in the gym I feel like my body might need more sleep than 6-7 hours but I wake up feeling so refreshed and awake that I can't get back to sleep.

- Haven't used pills in a while so I can't comment on how well 5-HTP relieves the come down.

- Very vivid dreams too


Has anyone else had trouble sleeping in after taking 5-HTP?

hmm, so it makes it easier to sleep and easier to get up? wow. interesting...

cheers for that, i'll give it a go soon (i think my batch are on their way.... hope hope)
 
Im glad im not the only one who gets strange dreams on 5-htp. Its almost like tripping while your asleep!
 
can you buy it at a normal chemist? its something ive been wanting to experiment with for a while.

Might look into getting some. I wouldnt complain if i was waking up more refreshed. It might raise my attendance rate at uni :)
 
Dreams on 5-HTP are rad, I've had some moments of lucidity. They are much more vivid than regular dreams, but can turn a little dark and scary at times! Definitely don't feel as groggy in the mornings after 5-HTP, but I try not to take it too much otherwise I struggle to fall asleep without it!

In QLD its OTC at Vitamin and health stores.
 
how can i buy 5-htp? i know its found in herbal supplements, but which ones? need some names as my brain feels like it's lacking at the moment.
 
Lucid dreaming on 5-HTP? Interesting, and here I was thinking it was just another form of supplement that had no noticeable side effects.

...Go in an ask for 5-htp :P
Thats what on the lable

On a side note with the dreaming, When I first started takeing it I noticed these effects. I then did a search of 5-htp and dreams and found it was rather common. So I can't put this down to a placebo. I noticed very very real dreams before I knew htp was known for it.
 
Yea, Id assume there similar to Vallium dreams *yay*

I might go in and source some of this out.

Has anyone crunched the numbers yet and found the best brand for mg/$ ratio?
 
Don't know if it was the 300mg 5-HTP I had or the 60mg Vinpocetine or the 6 grams of Pheinbut and small amounts of alcohol I had, but my drems last night were insanely intense and psychotic. Full of connections to previous big dreams I've just only remembered while dreaming or forgotten about recalling earlier. Just weird stuff like sneaking into someones bark yard and climbing up a huge grass wall for a long time then falling down a bunch of bit jungle trees over and over for about 20km, and feeling each branch with full tactile pain (which for some reason felt kind of enjoyable in the dream) then landing through the roof of some lab where I was trying to find a place to shoot up before scientists found me and were would try to force-feed me information the new Toyotas safety, fuel economy and low price.

Which was somehow connected to me suddenly being in some type of war zone from near some type of old canteen from a football club I used to play at when I was younger. Where I had to steal boxes of pharmecutical pills and vials from the side of the canteen, which now I remember for some reason had grand stands in it, and hide the drugs up in the hills crawling through long grass and shrubs trying not to get shot, then then hiding it under a barbedwire in the grass in a field on the hill, before a gang of angry cows some and killed me.

Then believing for about ten minutes after waking feeling full worn out after uber physical REM shit that is was all completely true and it somehow convenced it had to do with signing some lease papers
 
yea i get some fucked up dreams on 5-htp
on scat days i take... 1200mg of the shit, ofcouse not at once. but i nevr had troubles of having that much 5-htp.
