5-htp: How to make it work well

Posted by Marty mc Fly on July 16, 2004, at 18:36:29

After some research I decided to use 5-htp for my OCD & Panic to increase serotonin levels. I started with 100 mg and worked my way up to 300 mg in 3 divided doses of 100 mg over the day. The only effect I have so far after 2 months of consistent use is severe nausea after taking it, even with the dose divided and I experience no antidepressant effect whatsoever.
I have taken in with and without vitamine B6 and magnesium, 3 hours after a meal, with orange juice.
What am I doing wrong ?
Are there ways to improve effectiveness of 5-htp ?
