giftcreations123 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 HiInstead of taking an antidepressant I wanted to try 5htp to balance out my system.My doctor said antidepressant are usually taken at night so I am thinking that is when to take it Any experiences? When do you take it? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alex Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 i took citalopram for a while (with nasty side effects). My dr said it should be taken in the AM. I am unsure about 5htp or other such supplements. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoliDeoGloria Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I've also been thinking of experimenting with 5HTP. My husband uses it to help him sleep. I took a dose (100MG) and within a half hour it lowered my heart rate from 100 to 76. But it disturbed my sleep for some reason, so I'm thinking of trying a lower dosage.

corina Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 You migt want to talk this over with your doctor before experimenting! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
