I'm taking 5-HTP due to IBS-d and depression with anxiety attacks. I've suffered with this for 23 years. I recently came across some research from the late 1990's about serotonin deficiency that causes IBS-d along with depression, anxiety attacks, insomnia, etc. In the last 6 weeks I have taken Kamut Wheatgrass, NOW's 5-HTP, NOW's Pancreatin, NOW's Gr9-Dophilus and NOW's Acetyl-L Carnitine. My IBS and sleep has improved and my depression with anxiety attacks has been marginalized. I've ordered all of this from iHerb.

My wife has daily wicked headaches. This seems to be the only natural pill that works.

Definetly has pos. effect on mood,outlook and quality of sleep. Appears to diminish appetite too. Does effect dreams. Need to be careful with the dosage as I have experienced some GI upset/effects;but was taking a high dosage(300mg) BID.Will cut back and add Tyrosine back to regime to balance neurotransmitter synthesis.

I haven't used it but a couple of times, but my mom has been using it for a while and it has worked wonders. It does help her sleep somewhat, but mostly it has just leveled out her mood. In fact, we can all tell the difference on the days she hasn't taken it.

I have now been taking one capsule a day, just before bedtime together with st. johns worth and I have to say it works really well and I don´t need anxiolitics almost anymore. I was taking lexatin once or twice a week and feeling nervous more days but now it has been 3 weeks since I took my last lexatin and it feels GREAT!
