      I started taking 5htp as Griffonia simplicifolia supplements after reading about it on this site.
      After just a couple of weeks I noticed a change in the way I felt and after a month I started to think that I should start selling it.
      I don’t sell it, but seriously, it is good. It really helps balance my appetite for having fun and getting off my head with the demands of every day life.

        Do you take it every day?

        I tried taking it to help with comedowns (just after nights out) but to be honest it didn’t really do much for me. Once or twice it sped up the comedown (Moody monday instead of Tetchy Tuesday or Weepy wednesday).

        Now I just take rehydration salts on the morning after and try to remember the good times I had at the weekend to cheer myself up mid-week.

            I used to take it every day because I was feeling anxious, guilty and nervous during the week after caning it at the weekend. I was finding that I needed a drink in the evening to help me relax which almost certainly didn’t help things.
            It took about 2 weeks before I noticed that I wasn’t feeling so anxious and after a month I felt fine and couldn’t understand what the problem had been. I didn’t need the end of day drink and I didn’t feel tense or anxious about nothing.
            Now I just take it for a few days before and after going on a bender. Sometime I still feel a bit sketchy afterwards but most of the time I’m OK.

                5HTP is really good for comedowns…but I find it too expensive to take everyday, I only really need to take it just 1 day after weekends

                    Didn’t ever do anything noticeable for me. Bought it when I was caining the pills at the weekends hoping it’d easy my comedown, no luck.

                    Tried taking it every day as well, didn’t seem to help me in anyway.

                    A lot of people swear by it for comedowns tho.

                    I tried everything to minimise the comedown, 5htp, anti oxidants, multi vitamins etc. It didn’t make me feel any better but couldn’t have done any harm I suppose.

                            didnt know you can take them for that… I think ppl should be prescribed these instead of anti-depressants

                                    Yeah one of the symptoms of my blood disorder is low serotonin so taking these on a daily basis helps me sleep, eat properly and not feel so emotional.

                                    I agree they are much safer than most anti-depressants but the government have talked about banning it along with St John’s Wort which can be known as herbal prozac. St John’s Wort is already illegal in Eire (Southern Ireland)
