I have had incredible positive effects from 5-HTP. When taking 2 50mg pills a night, my mood is just sky high. I also take vitamin B6, as that is a catalyst for converting 5-HTP into 5-HT (serotonin).
I love 5-HTP - no side effects, unless I take too much every day (taking 3-4 pills a day leads to random anxiety attacks -- anxiety is often from too much serotonin in the brain). But 2 is just fine. Too bad it is expensive where I live - the price just went up from $20 to $27 per bottle of 30 pills.
