I'm only taking one pill a day, in the evenings (due to comments that 5htp might cause drowsiness). I haven't noticed any significant drowsiness, but I did recall some vivid (not scary) dreams. Usually I have a hard time recalling my dreams, so maybe it helped me to recall them. More importantly, my mood seems improved. I've only been taking the supplement for over a week, so its rather early. Could just be a placebo effect. Regardless, I'm happy with the results so far. I've only splurged on carbs once, and that was after skipping dinner (I have a cold and had the accompanying lack of appetite most of the afternoon). I'm also taking coromega (omega 3 supplement) so that might be helping with the cravings as well. Either way, I feel mild but noticeable improvement.
I gave the product four stars because the first few nights, I had an increase in anxious symptoms (I'm also taking supplements for anxiety). Those only last 2-3 days, and I decided to continue taking 5htp to see if the symptoms would cease, which they did. Also, I chose to take 5htp instead of sam-e (which I was also considering) because I have hypoglycemia, and sam-e has a potential side effect of lowering blood sugar. I tried St. John's Wort several years ago, but I didn't take it consistently, so I can't speak to its effects.
If you experience mild depressive symptoms and carb cravings, give it a try. Be sure not to combine it with other antidepressants tho!
OLD REVIEW:
If you do not have low serotonin levels or, issues with depression, anxiety, or insomnia/problems sleeping or staying asleep then DO NOT TAKE. I tried this because I thought it would help me focus but instead it just allowed me to fall into a deeper than normal sleep and I slept for nearly 24 hours and still woke up feeling like I could stay asleep forever. It did not make me groggy...I just felt like I welcomed sleep. I do not suffer from any symptoms that these supplements are intended for and what I've read, long-term use can negatively effect your body if you do not have low serotonin. These also caused me to have a little anxiety and moodiness.
WebMD: It has been used safely in doses up to 400 mg daily for up to one year. But some people who have taken 5-HTP have developed a condition called eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS). EMS is a serious condition involving extreme muscle tenderness (myalgia) and blood abnormalities (eosinophilia). Other potential side effects of 5-HTP include heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, sexual problems, and muscle problems.
