My sleeping patterns are shot (early morning wakeing) and my nutritional doctor says to take 5htp in the afternoon. I'm not sure how much to take, but have taken 200mg and not noticed improvement. I don't want to take more than that and I always take 100mg. I dunno, but sleep's so important to general health, it flows into feeling decent and relaxed. (It can be very dispiriting, trying to think about this feeling half brain dead.)
I'm curious about your experience with deprenyl. Someone else (Blueberry?) said it killed his sex drive. How much were you taking? (It'd be a laugh if the 1mg/d I take caused my early morning wakeing.)
From the sound of it you respond well to seratogenic things, or at least the 5htp improves your libido. How much of that do you take?
As for the seesaw relationship between Ach and NE, Link said that there was something known as the Ach-NE axis, which is why, he was saying, Ach enhancing smart drugs can worsen depression.
