Customer Reviews of 5-HTP
Customer Review: Healthy Relaxation
Summary: 5 Stars
I went into this one skeptical but was surprised. I started by taking 100 mg at night, and was shocked to have the first night of 9 hours of unbroken sleep that I've had in a long, long time. Which was great but I noticed it made me groggy throughout the next day. So I decided to half the dose and that's where I've been now for over a week. Very good sleep still, but no grogginess the next day. Rather than a groggy feeling it's more of a nice calm feeling with the 50 mg amount. I recently quit coffee and thought that that would take care of my anxiety problem, and it did to an extent ... maybe 70%, nevertheless, there was still some anxiety. With the stopping of coffee and the 50 mg of 5-HTP every night, I feel I've taken care of about 85% of my anxiety issues ... which had a lot more to do with my depression than I had originally thought. Sleep is extremely important, and if you're having trouble falling asleep then taking an amino acid like 5-HTP is a much healthier approach to dealing with the problem than taking kava kava, valerian root, or any of the host of drugs from big pharm. As a side note, if I'm feeling particularly tired in the morning I take some Rhodiola Rosea (Rhodax), and that is a good healthy way to get the day going, might also be something you want to check out. So, all in all, I give this product at least 4 stars, but it's helping me sleep so it's going to get all 5. I wish you the best of luck in finding what works for you too.
