5-HTP

well it has been like 2 or 3 weeks now and i wanted to post my results

for the first week i was taking 2 100mg caps a day.
i was getting a lot of gas so i started to take only 1 cap per day about an hour before bed.

i have started to remember 2 ~ 3 dreams a night and the lengh and vividness has incressed. i think my stomic has gotten use so i will be taking 2 caps again starting tommorow.

I just started taking 5-HTP since yesterday as I found it in a health food store…

It’s a 50mg tablet…
No particular results after the first night, but I’m quite hopeful.

Just wondering, would a Walgreens carry something like this? I don’t have a drug store very close to me. :tongue: . Definatly going to give this a go though.

it is possibal, but you could check there website and see if there is somekind of thing that well tell you if store has it.

You can get it at GNC.

It’s odd… 5-HTP seems to have suppressed my dreaming (REM dreams?) somehow…
I think tonight I’ll give it a break and try a wake up method instead…

I tend to notice it most when I wake up in the morning but go back to sleep. That’s when the dreams are just mind blowing.

I didn’t take 5-HTP this night. Instead, as a kind of break, I did a whey protein and green tea mix, took that when I woke up after 3 hours at night. I got a very vivid dream afterwards but no lucidity.
Still it’s positive.

sounds like you lot are all dope fiends
lol
i think i may invest in 5-htp
ha its found in cheese
so thats why cheese is supposed to help
makes sence

Every time I take 5-htp my dream recall drops down to zero… I wonder…
Seems like 5-htp isn’t helping me…

It’s interesting though how dream lizard posted his dream recall went up… For me it’s the opposite with 5-htp…

Other factors at work besides the 5-HTP. Maybe Lizard had other things in him at the moment and HTP’s effect combined with the others. When things like that happen they happen on scales of doubling each other. No success with it for me at moment though.

That’s quite possible. Another factor could be what I eat, if I don’t eat bread that day it could reduce the b6 in my body I suspect… (unless I take a supplement for that)

Hm… so what do you guys think? Should i get some or not…

:content:

Cause i want to get something for xmas that will help me with LDing.

where do you people get it normally ?

Health food store.

At the pharmacy the pharmacy told me ‘never heard of the stuff get me a bottle to see’… lol

I stopped it and first had a noisy WILD (failed to remember I was dreaming though), then the next day I had a lucid dream… then forgot afterwards so I didn’t write it down…

I think this might interrest some of you : umm.edu/altmed/articles/5-htp-000283.htm

thanks… its interesting. Though I’m leaning more towards natural methods right now.

It says side effects flatulence - has anyone got that?
From taking 5-HTP that is :razz:

read this thread, and I am wondering about something. For those of you who have used this product for an extended period of time, do you worry about dependence? I saw where somebody said when they quit taking it their dreams became less vivid and interesting. I would be interested in trying this out, but not at the cost of loosing my ability to recall dreams naturaly, without pharmacalogical assitance that is.

So has anybody used this for extended periods of time and then quit? If so, what was the result.
