I read a lot about it being used for anxiety/depression. How much are these calims supported by research? Is there a preferred 5hTP brand? Does it really work? I 'thought' it worked for me for a 'while' in the absence of major 'external' stressers.

hello, i can comment that titration on SSRIs is not usually the most pleasant of events, but in time, the side-effects usually go away (to an extent)...with that said, if you are not ot of the woods in 4-6 weeks, then consider an alternative with consult with your doctor....as for 5-HTP, it is decarboxylated and the resultant is serotonin. as with any supplement, be wary of regulations concerning QA/QC, and if you choose to augment, go with L-5-HTP, although i am almost certian the racemate or pure D-5-HTP is available...and yes, the caps on D and L are different than the lowers d and l, let me know if this is of any use, and all the best, chemist
