romy20 Posted December 12 Report Share Posted December 12 Ive taken taht like a few times but never on a regular basis, i really should though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsquillz Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 you don't really need to take it every day. it takes the body ~3 weeks to get back to normal seratonin levels, so if you just take some time off between rolls, you should be fine. if you roll frequently, 5-HTP is a necessity. also, if you don't feel like spending all that $$$ on 5-HTP, you can just eat turkey and bananas...they are loaded with it. if you wanna take 5-HTP daily, eat 2 bananas or a turkey sandwich and saver the 5-HTP capsuled for when you roll.

princesslolita Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 I buy my 5-htp at http://www.vitaminshoppe.com. They have some of the best prices & carry alot of different brands. I do take 5-htp everyday and it helps with my depression, sleep better, and also less hungry. 100mg per day I take. Also, espically if you roll you should take 5htp should be part of your preload/post load.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really works well.. Definetly pre & post load.. Prevents the weekday depression that usually comes about 2 to 3 days after havin fun for me.. Not needed everyday in my case.. but Princesslolita is very correct.... Hmmm I think I need to make a pit stop this evening at vitamin shoppe as matter of fact..

xtcvitality Posted December 14 Report Share Posted December 14 I don't take it everyday, but I do take it frequently. If I find I'm going to roll on a coming up weekend and I rolled within the past month, I take 100mg everyday up until the day I plan to roll. On that day, about 2-3 hours before I plan on dropping, I start eating 50mg every 30 minutes until I pop my pill. I usually take 250-400mg before I roll, it really helps my roll a lot. It brings back the happiness I used to get when I roll. The morning after I roll I usually take 100-200mg. The next couple days after I take 100mg a day for 3-4 days. I don't get depressed a couple days after rolling anymore. Previously, before I started taking 5-htp, I would get extremely depressed on the Monday or Tuesday after a long weekend of partying. Haven't had that in a long time though. Try it, you'll like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princesslolita Posted December 24 Report Share Posted December 24 5htp is not $$ at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codica3 Posted December 24 Report Share Posted December 24 I know friends that take it (I never personally have cause I usually drop only 1 pill so I don't feel all cracked out) but my friends that drop enormous amounts of pills take like 3 of them I think because they say that it helps them to not feel cracked out and have that horrible E-hangover.. ehh, I guess whatever works for you is good..

kitty19 Posted December 27 Report Share Posted December 27 though 5-htp is believed to help boost seratonin levels, it has NOT been approved by the FDA. the side effects of long term and continuous use of 5-htp is not known at this time. i recommend taking it as needed; use it for a week or so in advance to a pill dropping session. it should NOT be a part of your daily regimen of vitamins. this is not like vitamin C; even a large dose of vitamin C is unhealthy.
