>This caught my attention. I am not an expert on 5htp. But hanging out at a forum where a lot of people have used it has given some insight into the intricacies of its use.
These are basically the results of what actual users have experienced:
1. When 5htp works briefly or poops out, it means it is needed but the missing ingredient was tyrosine in combination with it.
2. Successful users do a lot of experimenting with dosage size and timing.
3. Some people need megadoses while others need only an 1/8th of a normal dose.
4. Taking it daily is not always the best thing to do. Some people find that once their serotonin stores are filled up, they only need to refill them once every 3 days or so.More often than not, any problems with 5htp are the lack of tyrosine.
Those are all just general observations from people that work with 5htp a lot.
