PC,
You might want to also add some chromium. It is supposed to be very good for stabilizing blood sugar and reducing cravings. Also (I am sure you already know this, but I thought I would add it anyway) be careful with the 5HTP dosing when combining it with an AD (potential for serotonin syndrome) and, based on my own experience with L-Glutamine, I would start quite low and take your time increasing the dose - I ended up extremely agitated when I tried it (but I started at 500mg 2 or 3 times a day).
Good luck partlycloudy. I am sure the supplements will be helpful.

> I posted on the substance board about my recent travails. Today I decided to add some nutritional supplements to try to help in my recovery: evening primrose oil (for GLA), L-glutamine, 5-HTP, and tyrosine. All this to help me as I attempt to cut out white sugar from my diet. I don't think I'm ready to cut out my carbs without crashing into a depression.
