5-htp

Anyone ever use it? If so, how fast does it work? Can you tell a big difference? Is it useful even when you're not using MDMA/ other substances.


For those who aren't familiar, it replenishes your seratonin and is a natural anti-depressant. I'm trying to figure out if its worth going and getting.

I take it all the time for insomnia and antidepressant. It kicks in bout hour and a half. And yea it does work if your looking for that I would also suggest sam-e or something like that. I take a shit ton of natural antidepressants and insomnia medicine. Wors pretty good give it a week to get goingIf your wanting to use it as a potentiator, I've never found luck with any of them.. Well milk and fatty foods really do work with pain pills... But yea

When you say it kicks in in about an hour, what exactly do you feel? I've never taken the stuff and the only facts I know is what I've already stated. I'm going to look into the Sam-E now.


*and in the descriptions for 5HTP it says it helps control appetites... could you explain any on that?

Well the hour is mainly for its sleepy effects, the feeling is simply you woke up on the right side of the bed, a bit happier. If your like me and barely anyone has ever seen you smile you might just be a bit happier and smile when you greet someone.. You just feel a bit, better..
As to appetite I've never noticed anything

I would definately suggest a combination, 5-htp isn't sufficient on its own in my opinion. But severe depression can be hard to overcome

Sounds good buddy. That Sam-E stuff is expensive though, I'm going to try just 5HTP for my general use (I'm not depressed, but definitely wouldn't mind a mood lifter+ the energy/motivation boost).

i swear by 5-htp's i take mandy often if u build up on these taking about 100mg a day for a week or 2 before you drop
omfg it can be as good as the first time
there also very good 2 get rid of a come down
honestly if ur going to do mandy you need these in your life

Mandy? I did her in highschool,but she broke my heart...lol

Mandy is the UK equivalent of Molly.

I know duck,just crackin wise...lol

I have noticed a difference when I took it by itself, not psychoactive just a little more alert, a little happier, a little more on point etc., nothing drastic but noticeable.

Just don't take it WITH molly itself, you want to take it a few days leading up to usage, and after the 6 hour period of it in your system. If you take it directly with mdma or mda or whatever you have, then you have a higher chance of getting serotonin syndrome and just in general causing more neurotoxicity than you need to. It's great to take afterwards when you are going to bed and I would even suggest 2 weeks afterwards morning and night for a few reasons.

1. When you take mdma, you spike your serotonin and then it drops afterwards slightly but then actually goes back to normal during the next day, however it is the 24 hour point after you have taken it where your serotonin drops drastically and takes weeks to recover. Taking 5-htp will help minimize this and restore the much needed serotonin.

2. Mdma actually stops your bodies production or ability to use (can't remember which) the enyzme in your body that turns tryptamine from food into 5-htp which then turns into serotonin. So this cuts off a huge supply of serotonin you would normally get, but by bypassing the bodies system of using tryptamine and giving it the straight by-product (5-htp) then you can keep your serotonin in good supply. The enzyme will return/work again after a few weeks.

I have seen people get psychologically addicted to 5-htp though so don't let it be your miracle cure to life (but it doesn't sound like you expect it to be anyways)

it works. walnuts also contain 5h. that shits a necessity before after and during rolling
