I can tell when I forget to take it. i would not suggest anything other than antidepressants for serious depressions, but for me and my mild - sometimes depression and PMS it seems to work great and i have not noticed any side effects the entire time I have taken it. I did read that there is a serious risk of contamination just like with the Tryptophan that was manufactured in Japan. i wish we had a better system for the regulation of our supplements....

I have taken as much as 400mgs of this product with no side effects. I find as little as 200mg has been a great help in easing any "dark" moods I may have.

This product takes a couple of weeks in some cases but totally woth the wait if you dont want to be depressed any more. I take 200mg a day, and boy do I notice the difference when I stop taking it. I hate taking meds but this 5-HTP does the trick for depression and it helps me sleep too.
