5-HTP IS AS BAD AS BENZOS

Posted by davpet on January 16, 2006, at 5:18:45

5-HTP converts into serotonin which desensitises serotonin receptors . You then need more serotonin to get the same level of serotonin receptor activation . Benzo increases GABA desentsitising GABA .
Stop taking 5-HTP and your normal (lower) amount of serotonin is no longer able to activate your receptors = depression. Suddenly stop taking benzos and all hell will break lose.
When you first take 5-HTP alot of people experience the serotonin wave but this soon disappears, why is this? Simple serotonin receptor down-regulation
