hi,

i was just wondering if anyone has any experience with taking this for anxiety? i know its apparently good for depression and anxiety.

Ive been taking one tablet(occasionally 2) in the evenings for about a month now. when i started i think i did feel a little less down, but since then i sort of dont feel like its helping me. I actually stopped taking it on Sunday and the last 2 days ive felt better than i have in a while.

I dont know if maybe the 5HTP didnt agree with me, or if all the things im trying to sort myself out are finally kicking in, but i dont think ill bother taking it again. I definitely dont feel worse for not having it.

Anyone else taken 5HTP and found it made symptoms worse?
