Tryptophan converts into 5-htp, which later converts into serotoinin, which is what you are aiming to increase. |

Does anyone know the difference between 5-HTP and L-Tryptophan? Also, I was wondering if it is safe to take 5-HTP and Melatonin together? Thanks! |

I would like more input from anyone if possible. I think I will try both, but I want to be safe. I'll start out with 5-HTP first... |

It's not going to hurt you, if that's what you mean. They both suppress REM, so you might get some rebound later in the night. |

Well, I decided to take both last night with very interesting results. At the beginning of the night, I had an OBE, where I sat on the edge of my bed massaging my legs cause they felt numb. I remember hearing loud high pitched sleep paralysis sounds before this. I had to tell myself that this was nothing but sleep paralysis when hearing the sounds. As I sit on the edge of my bed, in my spirit body, I decide to get up and flip on the light switch, not aware that I was having an OBE. The light switch didn't work. I thought that was really odd, so I walk over to my ceiling fan. The fan is moving, but not in reality. I was about to test the string on the fan, but then I am back in my body, and fully conscious again. |

I am curious how much actually you took each of them. My only experience with L-Tryptophan was awful. I took 1,5 g of pure powder drunk with water from 3 pills that were too big for me to swallow. It was so diguisting like bromine or dog's ass. Whole night I felt like vomiting and had that taste in my mouth...brrrrr I forgot about LD then. |

I tried for the first time Melatonin ( can't get over the counter in UK ). 6mg |

Serotonin is closely related to DMT, so it is theoretically possible that by increasing the serotonin to excess amounts where the brain doesn't need anymore to perform its necesary functions and by supplying melatonin as well the excess could possibly be converted in the brain to DMT causing OBE's or lucid dreams. I read something about this once on the internet about anti-depresants possibly causing DMT production. |

L-tryptophan is converted into 5HTP, but from what I have read, L-tryptophan crosses the blood-brain barrier more easily, and more of it crosses. So it could be more effective than 5HTP. Both are then converted to serotonin. I don't know about taking them with melotonin. I doubt it's a good idea, especially if you plan to do so often. |

Not quite. |
