In reply to James South - anyone tried his recommendations?, posted by jasmineneroli on November 24, 2004, at 1:24:40
I read this article but it was on a site that sells drugs that make you smart. Is this his site? He does give an explaination why he recommends melatonin but nothing about 5HTP. In fact the section right above goes on about why tryptophan is a better choice than 5HTP.
I don't know what to make of it, it seems inconsistent but then I understand very little about the human body. I do believe your body will convert tryptophan to serotonin on demand, I didn't think you needed to worry about it unless you were taking an MAOI or something that blocks seroronin. I only posted because I am curious about this too, I just dumped my Lexapro without tapering. I can't tolerate SSRI medications and I'm thinking of trying precursors.
Thanks
Rick
