5-HTP and WILD

**TheHomeBeef** · 02-17-2015 03:13 AM

I've been using just 5-HTP for the past month now. I take it and wake up usually after 4 hours of sleep and because of the rem rebound effect i find using MILD techniques much easier, or I just wake up easily remembering a long, very vivid dream.
Now my question is won't 5-HTP and WILD work well? Considering after waking up from deep non rem sleep and then falling back asleep directly into REM sleep due to rem rebound; so much faster sleep paralysis induction and longer and more vivid lucid dream experiences.

I have a collection of 5-HTP pills sitting around. I've been afraid for a while to take them (after all those bad things that happened with them years and years ago) but I did take it one night. Nadda.

What happened that was so bad? Did the pills make you sick or something?

Yes, what bad things?

I'm getting them tomorrow and I'd like to know what Im getting myself into.

The "bad things" mentioned above probably are reports of EMS aftern 5htp usage. These problems arised tue to inpurities of the products, not the substance 5htp itself.
5htp should be quite safe if you are not taking anti-depressants like MAO-inhibitors. You should never use supplements if you are taking other (prescription) drugs.
I used 5htp several times to deepen sleep in the first half of the night, increasing REM in the second half. It works well.
