I feel a bit dumb... based upon previous weak responses I took 750 mg in the morning and then 750 mg in the afternoon. I suddenly realized while posting last night I was quite hot (temperature wise) in addition to having the temper flare ups in the afternoon and evening. My diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were elevated somewhat too. Needless to say 1500 mg in that space of time is probably overdoing it.

I'm using my pill cutter now on the TMG. I also have Jarrow's 5-HTP which comes neat unlike the other one, which I will return today.
I should be getting 75 mg of niacinamide today from my Solaray. I will take just 750 mg of TMG today, split up into two doses.
