That is also the time of day when my cortisol starts to shoot way up, when it shouldn't, so it is hard to say if it was a 5htp dosing thing or a cortisol thing.
You might want to visit a site called sjwinfo.org. It is primarily a st johns wort forum, but there are also a couple additions to it that include a rhodiola forum and a 5htp forum. You could read what others have experienced with 5htp. I thought more people would have responded here at babble. But since they haven't, try going to sjwinfo.org and check out the 5htp forum there.
