> How many MGs of 5htp and St. John's were you taking?Leonora, started at 300mg St Johns twice a day for a few days just to feel it out. Then 3 times a day for a few days. All was OK, so went to 4 times a day. Stayed there, though some reseearch trials have gone as high as 9 times day. For 5HTP I started at 50mg for couple days to test it out. Then went to twice a day for couple days. Then 3, then 4, then 5, then back down to 4 times a day. Right in that area I had a short miracle before I was forced to quit. As I remember it was just over two weeks to get there. If it takes longer, hang in there. Give it a fair try if you are going to commit to it. Go slow at first. Wishing you well. JohnL.
