5htp??

[Sierra Gibson]

Has anyone had luck with 5HTP? I've read a lot of different opinions...wondering if it has helped anyone with anxiety?

Not really.. Partly because it's hugely expensive compared to a script of anti-depressants so I never stayed on it very long.

5htp was one that I used for a few years with some success. Unfortunately, I was running into inconsistencies between brands and found it quite frustrating. One would seemingly work great, others would either do nothing or upset my stomach so I gave up on it. I wish those trying it luck with it. Like everything else, you get what you pay for, so, you might want to go with a good trusted brand name with the ingredients listed clearly on the bottle.

Keep us informed about how its going with this treatment.

I tried this and gabba to help my anxiety/panic attacks. I found very little releif. My expierence is that it can help if you maybe have lower levels of anxiety but if you are anything like me with an extremely high anxiety level meds are the way to go (just my own personal experience) I have tried many supplements as well as acupuncture, yoga and holistic approaches.

Good luck if u decide to try it, let us know how it goes
