      Anyone know anything about 5-HTP?

      Hi all,

      I've been reading up on L-Hydroxytriptophane, the amino acid that the body uses to create seritonin.

      GNC has it for $25 for a bottle of 60 sold as 5-HTP. I've heard the FDA was going to pull it.

      Have any of you used this, if so, what effects did it have.

      I don't want to pay $25 for nothing.

      Hmmm

      I personally wouldn't know Seeker, I like to stay natural and not rely on products to help me Lucid dream, However I'm interested in what this thread might turn up...

      I'm buying some 5-HTP next week so if anyone's still interested, I'll let you know what happens.

      Yeah, keep up posted. I bought a bottle of Melotonin 3 this weekend but haven't taken any yet. I like to have 3 or 4 glasses of wine at night and there is a stong warning on the bottle about mixing it with alcohol!

      Actually, I'm 294 (in dog years)

      I e-mailed my picture to someone, Aneus I think, and had him put it on their website and then present a URL.
      Maybe if you join one of them, like yahoo or something.

      You can take alot of melationin without hurting yourself, but you have to build up to it, if you pop a buncha pills... you are going to have an... interesting night, also mixing with alchohol makes you have to pee alot during the night, not good for your kidneys but neither is drinking.. umm

      I take 10mg and sometimes have had a few to drink.

      But My body chemistry is weird, I am fairly resistant to most things, so my dosages are usualy higher than normal.

      B6 good for neurochemistry valarean root a natural sedative

      4, 2.5mg sublingual tablets

      Seriosuly I started at only 2.5 dont just pop a bunch to see what happens thats dangerous and stupid.

      They have done studies and found that people can take over 3000 times the normal dosage without ill side effects, how true this is... is questionable... I dont think that would be wise.

      The melatonin does increase my REM time and the longer I sleep the more apparent it is.

      ANd yes I know that sleeping longer increases REM time, I am saying that its even longer with the melatonin. =)

      I've been doing a little research. It seems that mixing 5-HTP and alcohol induces siezures in some people. Even at the 50mg level.

      Looks like I'm going to have to go on the wagon before I experiment with these. My bottle of Melatonin looks so lonely. It is sitting next to my monitor looking at me
