5-htp is a really tricky supplement. Taking high doses will eventually lead to accumulation of melatonin, so any initial energizing effect will be replaced by fatigue. The only way to take low doses is to open capsule or split pill.
You might want to try seroctin instead, it is an extract that increases serotonin/melatonin naturally with fewer side effects.
