Hi

I've read that 5HTP increases the production of tryptophan which is the precursor to serotonin. It should help with sleep and depression, and there may be other uses. I have been thinking of trying it for sleep problems. I have tried several antidepressants to help with sleep, but I seem to be extremely sensitive to all of them and have had to discontinue them due to side effects. I am currently trying out Trazadone. Has anyone had experience with 5HTP?

Linda
