5HTP taken with prescribed meds: Is it safe to take the 5HTP with Wellbutrin and prozac as an addition to these meds to see if it will help the NON focus factor and the MAJOR put off everything instead of getting it done!!!

Research shows that when HTP was added to Prozac, it increased its effectiveness in massive amounts. 5-HTP has been used in Europe for decades as a natural antidepressant. That being said, NEVER combine multiple agents that act as serotonin reuptake inhibitors without professional opinion of your physician or naturopathic expert. Also, your "major put off", I would suggest taking a look at the book, The Mood Cure, which will provide a questionnaire so you can identify which brain chemicals you need assistance in, as serotonin may not be the only one (which HTP affects). Hope this helps.

Yes, I believe so. It really helped a family member of mine, he used to be on Adderall and feels this works just as well. Eventually it should build up in your body and you should only need it off/on (as with all amino acids).

I don't think it is as I bought the pure saffron like the Dr on Dr. Oz suggested. I really cannot tell it does anything for me. I think the 5 HTP does more for you that was featured on Dr. Oz also. I buy mine at Walmart and it seems to give me energy and if I exercised and followed a better diet plan, I think the 5 HTP would help me lose weight too.

Not sure if that is a good idea. Every medical reference on the internet says - "Do not cut or crash Lithium tablets", although they don't mention the reason behind it. Most likely reason would be that a constant level of lithium everyday is required to see some results and cutting/crushing might result in inexact dosages. Consult your doc.

I love alpha brain, I was on adderall for a while and when I take this I don't need to take the adderall for concentration and mental clarity. Its not a miracle drug but it is a heck of a lot better than a pharmaceutical for me personally. I recommend this to everyone I know who wants that extra edge of concentration or is thinking about pharmaceuticals such as adderall for help. I'm a smaller female (127 lbs- 5'7) and I take 2 in the morning to bust through my work day and workouts. Love it

I have been taking the 500ppm but it says on the label that you can only take it for 14 days at that dosage. It's not designed to be an everyday supplement.

No. I don't think this is meant to replace prescriptions drugs. But You may find some relief after a few weeks of use. But if you have a history of anxiety/depression try to find a doctor that can test you for DNA mutations such as MTHFR. Testing your MTHFR you will be able to treat anxiety and/or depression from the root cause.

Yes use on the same day, DR first then NT. as far as how often, that's up to you.

I've found that when I first started taking Phenibut i had very lucid dreams. But phenibut can be addicting and has really bad withdrawals similar to benzos. Recently i've been using Mood support from NOW foods with 100mg of 5htp in the morning and 200mg of 5htp at night along with 5mg of melatonin and its a hit or miss on the lucid dreaming ascpect with this combo. But i will say if you throw in some high quality instant shaman Kava Kava from a place like nakamalathome.com you will feel like your in the dreams its crazy lol. and kava thats high quality makes u feel really really good to.Btw guys you have to get prescribed to Galantamine its not a supplement.

I do not know what pill might work, but homeopathics are always a good place to start when oral meds are preferred. By that I mean the pellets sold in small tubes. There are many available.

I did experience a raised blood pressure so I stopped taking it. I've been taking 200 MG of Theanine in place of this, but I have spoken with others who take them together and it seems to work for them. The Theanine helps lower the elevated blood pressure form the HTP 5.

500mg each. I typically only need 1. Remember these tips for use. This is a protein precursor so you will not show much affect if you have eaten protein recently. Eat dinner a few hours before bed, and take the Tryptophan about 30 minutes before you need to sleep. This like all amino acids function much better when you add a B-Vitamin complex to it as a transport mechanism.

I would say it helps some but also less pain and better all around health. Try 5htp and coq10 for improved energy.

They recommend one tablet per day. I personally follow the dosage in Global Healing Center's NeuroFuzion product, which is 625 mg or 5 tablets which helps with mood

I take the solgar 7 with non-spicy food. I also do not take my vitamins or other medication at the same time. It has never given me a problem. I think it's a great product & has helped me.

If you are new to the product, you should check out the truehope website first. If I recall, you should start with a "loading dose" that is far higher, for several months, than the "maintenance dose" that people settle down to once their symptoms improve AND they have made changes (almost always lower - under doctor's supervision of course) in their prescription meds. These are no minor details if you or a loved one are suffering from a mental health condition. I would not experiment with this on my own. The web site offers phone and internet counseling to help, and I believe that is part of the higher price charged by them for the same stuff when you order it off their website...hope that helps you and anyone else reading this!
