Misc 5-htp for temporary serotonin boost after not doing a serotonin releaser for quite some time

[Innerpeace]

Having to take a poop, in the mountains then lying down on the earth, waiting, then walking through the mountain keeping great pace, Thats the last time I took a serotonin releaser, its been eight months

Ive recently took 5-htp, usually 50 mgs, and tried 100 mgs last night, and wow, life seems more pleasant

Now, I know some people say thats a small dose, it works well for me.

Lets get down to the science

5-htp supports to brain to release a very slightly small amount of serotonin. Logically, if a person uses 5-htp frequently and at higher doses, then when a person does roll, the serotonin used up during 5-htp..well, that means less serotonin for a roll

I have to say 5-htp feels pretty good, and since I haven't rolled in eight months, its a nice serotonin feeling

*this may not work for you, I have always been quite sensitive to 5-htp. The first time I used it in 2003, I remember how I felt

I know, this isnt a drug, its a supplement, I feel this has improved my outlook on life, which improved my health

5-HTP doesn't stimulate the brain to release any serotonin, rather, it is the direct precursor to serotonin, which skips the rate-limiting step (L-tryptophan gets converted to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), which gets converted into serotonin), which means 5-HTP allows your body to produce more serotonin.

That said, it really has a good effect for some people, especially if your serotonin system is out of whack because of serotonin releaser abuse.

You cannot take it for more than 5 days without totally throwing off your dopamine. For best results you need to take a dopamine supplement as well, otherwise it will start to make things really lousy for you. But when I need a little but pickmeup emotionally, this often does the trick. The next day I’m always in a decent mood and feeling as if hey it’s not so bad. Just be careful taking to much.
