Re: 5HTP side effects?

Quote:
Well good deal, Linda! I'm glad to hear that you have tried 5htp. Hey, maybe the reason you couldn't sleep the next night was because you were so rested from the previous night's sleep (? I'm half-joking). You aren't going to find anything about side-effects because there aren't any! A few people have mentioned some gastrointestinal uneasiness, and I sometimes have excessive dreaming which sometimes wakes me for a few minutes. They are not those ridiculous nightmares that the antidepressants bring on, however. That's about it as far as side-effects go. That's what's so great about 5htp. It's the precursor to serotonin....and tryptophan is the precursor to 5htp. You may remember the FDA banning tryptophan years ago when just one manufacturer messed up and contaminated a batch.



Found that, but your right they are staying mum on any side effects! :curious
