hi mike,
i too am new to this site and was curious about this 5htp. i looked it
up and it is a seed from a "medicine plant" in west africa. it is a herbal
drug and from the sounds of it, it helps with depression, anxiety and sleep-
lessness. from what i can gather, no sexual problems either. i have only
been on celexa for about 10 days and the result have been pretty dramatic.
i am not sleeing as well, my sex drive is down (which my husband is not too
thrilled with, and neither am i) i am retaining fluid and i am very sleepy after
taking it and yet i still wake up at night. i took prozac before and i even lost
weight on it, but i had zero sex drive and felt numb most of the time. i am going
to check at the health food store about this 5htp and maybe give it a try. best
wishes and stay well.sheila
