Discussion 5-HTP

[Hoppipolla]

Has anyone tried this?

Apparently if you want to boost serotonin then the pathway is:

Tryptophan -> 5-HTP -> serotonin

And B6 helps the conversion from 5-HTP into serotonin.

I'm trying this for OCD but it apparently helps with depression too.

I took 5-HTP with B6 but now I seem to be very very sleepy, lol

Maybe I'll try supplementing tryptophan and B6 and see if that boosts my serotonin in a way that's easier for my body to regulate.

better off getting a genuine anti-depressant and maybe a low dose anti-psychotic from a psychiatrist then fool around with this stuff.

Turkey

lol true but it might be easier to take a tablet than to eat turkey every day hehe

I'd get so sick of turkey I think!

I suppose at least this means next time I can't sleep I can just take some melatonin as that's how the 5-htp is doing it!

I have discovered too that you can't buy melatonin here in the UK. I guess I'll take 5-htp if I can't get to sleep!

I'm not sure if you can supplement serotonin directly because of the blood-brain barrier. I'm not sure.
