i have had some success with 5-htp. after going off celexa about a month ago, i tried 5-htp to take the edge off the withdrawal. it seemed to work. the forgetfulness, while on celexa, has gone away. i have focus and am rational. i am somewhat moodier at times, but i try to work through it. i don't feel bloated or have constipation. i have lost some of the weight that i gained on celexa. about 2 months ago, i started therapy, and i think that is helping to give a different perspective on things too.
in case you'd like to know, i am taking 100mg 3x a day. i also am trying to increase my protein intake (think peanut butter!), especially in the morning and early afternoon. i also take tyrosine in the morning.good luck, i hope this is helpful.
