Natrol 5-HTP 100 mg Capsules 30ea.

"I have been anxious, annoyed, grouchy toward my family, large cravings for sweets (mostly chocolate) tired, wanted to sleep all the time, very emotional and many symptoms of depression/bi polar for over a couple of years. I have never been diagnosed but my Mother has been and I was showing many of her symptoms. I tried this pill about 1 month ago and have taken it daily. I have never felt better in my life!!! I feel like I am in control of my life again and it started taking effect in just 24-48 hours! I am going to check with my doctor to see if this can be taken for long term but if the doc says ok, then I plan to be balanced for the rest of my life!!! This is a great pill!"

"I was feeling down a couple of months ago and despite my best efforts to make very simple changes in my life, I was getting no improvement in the areas that I sought to improve. I considered myself depressed, I've been there before and I know well how it manifests itself in my life. I've also taken prescription anti-depressants too, wound up on 3 different kinds at the same time once. Prescriptions anti-depressants always gave me equal amounts of relief and side effects. I really don't like side effects. To me, there is no better way to say, "that stuff your taking is kinda screwing you up, makes you wonder what else its doing to your body." I did some research that led me to 5-HTP and SAM-e. I started taking both at the same time... results were extremely quick, I noticed a huge turn around within a week (5 days). Oh yeah, no side effects for me! I may take these things indefinitely. Of course, you should consult your doctor regarding any medical issues."

"I had a friend who is a pharmacist [...] recommend looking into taking this when I started having issues with the hardcore medicines my doctor had me one. I talked it over with my doctor who suggested I could try it in combination with omega 3 fish oil pills, and I have not had a problem since. This is amazing. Its not a cure all for depression, that requires intense realisation of what can and can't be fixed but it certainly helps me."

"I suffer from migraine headaces. My migraine specialist recommnended me trying this supplement over two years ago. I now do not miss a day!! It increases the seratonin level in your body which,if at a low level, can trigger migraines. The supplement can give you a strange sensation in your stomach,,,not nausea or ache,,,,but strange feeling. If you take it at night you won't notice it though. I have recommended this to all family/friends who suffer from migraines. The comments from others about mood improvements,etc. is just another plus.So if you have migraines give it a try. It probably took about two weeks of daily use for me to notice a big difference. I have decreased my migraine prevention/treatment medication by 75%."

"This stuff does exactly what it says on the box. However it is not a magic bullet for depression, or a substitute for SSRI's. See a doctor for that. You can find a lot of evidence online that 50mg-100mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan is a very large dose for regular use.



My guess is that these huge doses are given so that you feel an effect quickly and know that the product is working. When you eat one of these, you certainly will feel it the next day. This stuff is no joke. You can easily take the pill apart if you want a smaller dose. 10-20mg with food daily is probably a better & safer amount.



Happy holidays."

"This product is amazing! It makes me naturally happy and energetic and it's non-addictive as well. Also, one is enough. It eliminates hunger better than any hunger suppressant i've ever taken. If anything it works too well, sometimes I have to force myself to eat! Which could be a good or bad thing. I've had no bad side effects. Never the less; great stuff, I highly reccommend it."

"I was diagnosed with migraines due to my inability to store seratonin. Like another reviewer stated, this isn't a replacement for medication for depression, but I am supposed to take 10mg Prozak. Instead, I take one pill and find that suffices when combined with exercise. I wouldn't tell anyone to skip their meds, but I am able to experiment with treatments without causing myself harm."

"I have to absolutally recommend this product. I've tried fish oil, St. John's Wort and SAMe and none gave me the results that the 5-htp does. To sum it up, I've noticed a handful of what I thought were unrelated symptoms cropping up in the last few years. Insomnia, wierd sleep patterns, weight gain, overall pain and fatigue, and lately a lingering depression that was starting to worry me. But what really drove me to look for a solution was headaches that were getting more and more frequent and severe in intensity. I'd been on SSRI's in the past and didn't want to go that route, but I needed to do something. I have been taking this for about a week and already my headaches are gone. I am not as hungry as usual, am sleeping better than ever and waking rested, and for the first time ever, didn't get PMS symptoms like usual. I think this supplement actually works to raise your seratonin levels, which by the way, a SSRI won't do because that's not how they work. This product could save you HUNDREDS on Rx drugs and is worth a try."

"It really works I feel more positive and I can sleep and focus,I am happy with it.

The negative thing about it,is that my sexual perfomance/appetite has been decreased,other than that like I said it works"
