I have a tough time with SSRIs, and tried 5HTP on my doctor's advice. The first week was AMAZING, and I felt better than ever. By week two I was overly emotional, and by week three crying over everything and getting severe heart palpitations. Tears and palpitations went away immediately upon discontinuing.

I have a tough time with SSRIs, and tried 5HTP on my doctor's advice. The first week was AMAZING, and I felt better than ever. By week two I was overly emotional, and by week three crying over everything and getting severe heart palpitations. Tears and palpitations went away immediately upon discontinuing. I was disappointed as I really wanted this supplement to work. Depression after stopping was increased, and it took quite a awhile to bounce back. I was lucky and had a supportive doctor to walk me through this- don't use this supplement casually, and be very mindful in changes that you experience. I'm glad it works for some- it seems effective for short term depression for some people

I've been taking this product for a while off and on. I took it a few years ago and my family/ friends all commented that they noticed a positive difference in me. I noticed a difference within 3 days. The negative self talk and impulsiveness moved to the background then disappeared in a few weeks.

I noticed a difference within 3 days. The negative self talk and impulsiveness moved to the background then disappeared in a few weeks. I have no negative side effects except they make me sleepy but since I have trouble sleeping I guess that's really a positive too. I just take them about 7 pm.

Amazing supplement!! Effectively raised my seroyonin levels and practically eliminated depression and anxiety. Works better than pharmaceuticals and causes no side effects or addiction. But it's VERY important to get a good quality one. Don't buy supplements from Walmart or Wallgreens or such places because they sell junk full of toxic garbage that will hurt your health and sanity (but hey, it increases corporate profits and that's apparently the most important thing in America, where toxins are legal to help the bottom line for corporations, even if it damages your wellbeing and sanity. That is the kind of morally bankrupt unintelligent system we live in). Buy the highest and purest quality you can possibly find. No fillers, no toxins, no additives, no junk. I am pretty sure that most of those who reported negative reactions here, was because they took low quality junk full of toxins (either that or they are paid by Big Pharma to rubbish on alternatives) High quality 5-htp is a gift from heavens and one of the most effectice ways to increase serotonin and balance neaurotransmitters. Other ways being diet, sleep, reduction in stress, listening to your heart and doing what truely brings you the deepest joy (not what society/family expects you yo do and not necessarily where the "job security" is) and most importantly - love and resolution of traumas, which are VERY common and are the root cause of most psychological disharmony in our insensitive unaware immature brutal society. One more th8ng that helped me enormously in coming out of depression and learning to love myself was the writing (and videos) by Jeff Foster and Matt Licata. They are both on facebook and slso have blogs. Deeply insightful and touching and helpful and intelligent and compassionate writings with deep insight into the human condition and suffering. Very highly recommended! Good luck friends! Please always listen to your heart first and foremost and always love youself! You are precious!

I am weanig myself off of antideptessants and find 5-htp is better. Antidepressants helped with my sleep but i was still always irritable, mean and stressed at work. Now with 5htp once at night an donce in the morning. I am in a good mood, not angry and annoyed all the time, and i am functioning better at work which no antidepressant has been successful at doing
