5 HTP Help Induce SP?

I remember a while back that when I began using the seratonin precursor, 5HTP, to better help my moods. After a small bit of use, I began feeling weird when I started to pass out or even wake up from sleep. I had no clue what was going on, and i figured it was because of the 5 htp.

These experiences were very scary for me because I felt paralyzed but I was aware of everything around me. I would struggle to speak or move for a long period of time then I would jerk and wake up. It happened in school alot when i layed my head on the desk.

Now that I know what it is, i am not scared anymore. I want to be able to use this as the key to LD. I really want to have a LD, could this be the key to success?

nothing?

yup, this can infact be a very vivid way to get into a LD. When you get parylized, just try falling asleep in that state. Results may be A very vivid dream or a very vivid LD. infact ill induce paralysis tonight to see if i can enter an LD. i'll keep in touch;)

5 htp helps a person to get quality sleep. It is highly recommended to consult your doctor before taking any 5 htp products. However what I've seen a person really feels sleepy after taking 5 htp. If you don't want to sleep in school don't take it before going to school and can take it at night. Doctor consultation in any medicine taking matter is absolutely necessary.

I've not had any luck with 5-htp. I tried it a few times and all it resulted in was a low grade headache. I've got an almost full bottle sitting on my desk.

I don't recommend it.

Quick question - do any of you know why you would take 5-HTP instead of just 5-HT straight out? Is Serotonin lipophobic?

I mean, assuming you're going for CNS impact.

Everytime I try to start myself on a 5-htp regimen I get a severe cold/other disease after about 2-4 days

I recommend you try with caution. It seems to be quite the immune system suppressant for me

I tried 5-HTP last night for the first time. It promoted good rest at the beginning of the night and caused major vividness for dreams. Actually the they were at least pre-lucid because I was seeing some strange stuff and sort of questions my reality. I dont think this by itself would work for all but it did produce very extremly vivid dreams for me and good recall. Combined with Galanmatine this would be amazing!
