Sarah:

I have to say...I think my GAD and obsessive worrying is pretty severe. There has been no "natural" product I have taken, including 5-HTP, that has produced any kind of substantial effect on my nervous system. So, it doesn't really matter when I take the 5-HTP, or at least the Nature's Way brand (I'm almost done with my bottle of 60 tablets), the effects I get from it are not strong enough to...well, to do much than reduce maybe...I don't know, if I'm not stressed, maybe 25% of my physicalized anxiety. I have a really low stress job, a low stress life right now. If I had a higher stress, a higher amount of stress, I don't even think, well, I'd have to be back on something pharmaceutical, to function, to sleep, to "be in the world." So, I know that's probably not helpful, but...as far as I can tell, no, the 5-HTP does not make me too sleepy or relaxed when I take it.

Good luck,
Chris
