How do you plan to take 5-HTP? Before going to bed? |
|
I see there are lots of threads on the combo of Choline and Galantamine, but I don't see any on throwing 5-HTP into the mix. |

Well I answered my own question on 5-HTP and G+C combo by reading the G+C thread. Looks like people take 5-HTP before bed to suppress REM, the wake up after 4 hours sleep, take the G+C plus L-Theanine and go back to bed after 30-60 minutes. |

I just got L-theanine. I was looking at another thread for the amino acid combination (http://www.dreamviews.com/f44/l-aspa...heanine-51488/). I couldn't find aspartic acid, but will try without that tonight. |

Totally with you on the wired up vibe. G+C straight up for me so far, 3 tries, as you have seen on the other thread. I think I really need the Theanine to help me sleep, so I have to wait to get that. How did it go on your alternatives? |

Sorry for popping in on a somewhat old thread. I joined this forum maybe a year or two ago, and I just recently became more interested in lucid dreaming. I've tried B6, 5 HTP, theanine, choline, nicotine patches, etc. The only things that ever worked were nicotine and B6, mixed with valerian and Benadryl [diphenhydramine]. I'm about to order some galantamine, and was wondering if anyone knows a specific brand that I should buy--it's very expensive. |

Nicotine, B6, valarian and disphenhydramine? Interesting. I should try that. I haven't actually ventured into the patch territory yet. You said it worked for you? Did you have lots of success with it, or just kind of a one off type of deal? |

Both nicotine patches and B6 seem to work well when used singularly. I'm not sure if I've ever taken them together--I apologize for the lack of clarity in my original post. For some odd reason, I seem to be allergic to valerian. I get hay-fever type symptoms whenever I take it, and I take the diphenhydramine to counteract it. I have a sleeping disorder, so I take diphenhydramine regularly until I have a resistance. It doesn't seem to have much of an effect with regard to dreaming and staying asleep--I just use it to go to sleep at a certain time, or to help with allergies. |
