It definitely isn't! Just ask my husband what I was like on 5-htp compared to now on l-tryptophan - and my situation hasn't changed either. Urm...angry outbursts, fatigue, agitation - the only thing it did do was curb my apetite. However I could never predict it's effect on me. With l-tryptophan I know exactly what's going to happen, and I know my brain is in control of how much it uses etc.
Good stuff.
