Hi Jeaner,

I used to take 100mg of 5HTP at bedtime by itself and I would also have nightmares (not as bad as yours sound). 5HTP, I've seen in other people too, seem to make dreams very vivid. Personally I don't get this that often, but today I know I had a nightmare although remember very little from it (I suffer from poor short-term memory and find it difficult to remember dreams for example).

My solution was to lower my dosage to 50mg before I started to take Ashwagandha to which I maintain it at 50mg 5-htp in the morning, 100mg at night. Now I rarely get nightmares (last night was maybe once in a fortnight now).

So, I say try to lower the dosage, let the 5HTP enter your system slowly. It takes some time to reach a desired effect. 50mg in the morning and 50mg in the evening should be fine. If that's too much, maybe try find a lower dosage than 50mg but I don't know of a capsule that has that.

Hope this helps,
Chan Fook.
