500 mg sounds like a lot .. let alone 2.5 g! I've been reading articles that advise to start with 100 mg per day. I'm a super-lightweight and I felt effects after 1 dose of only 25 mg. Everyone's different, you might be more sensitive to 5-HTP than you anticipated.
In general, with any kind of psych medication, I have learned through awful experience to always start with a dose that's way smaller than you think you need. If you feel nothing, double it, if you still feel nothing, double it again. It's a lot better than starting out huge and ending up in the emergency room.
