5HTP side effects?
Hey there,
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with 5htp? I've tried searching on the net about it but no mention of side effects. I'm pretty sure that I'm having some nasty side effects from the stuff. Knowing that it boosts the serotonin levels in the brain and suffering from chronic depression I decided to give it a try. I've been taking it on and off for a few months now, I've noticed that I'll have really vivid off the wall dreams but apparently that's to be expected, what has also begun to happen however is I'm waking up after 2-4 hours of sleep in extreme anxiety, and have some really bizzare, repetitive and unpleasant thoughts. I've noticed an increase in general of anxiety so I didn't immediately attribute it to the 5htp.
If anyone is at all knowledgeable or has had experience with 5htp, please let me know what you know.
Thanks
Novemberphoenix
