5-HTP Supplements?
Has anyone tried taking 5-HTP supplements towards anxiety recovery? I ordered the Natrol brand 50 mg recently, so excited to see if this works.
Well, the 50 mg arrived today. Took just 1 pill of it and already feeling super relaxed and clear-headed, the most that I have in years! Not worried about a thing - highly unusual for me. But feeling motivated and energized to get things done. I'm planning to just take 1 pill per day or just whenever I feel I need a boost - no more than that because I see this thing is strong. 50 mg is the lowest dose and it already had such effect on me!
Also, I want to add that 4-5 hours after taking it, I felt super nervous/anxious. Probably because I was worrying about if taking the pill was okay - this shows me that the pill's effect wears off quite fast (lasting only 1-3 hours at most). This is probably because it wasn't time-release. I've decided to be careful and consult my doctor before taking this further. So I would like to caution and advise you to be careful about consult a doctor before beginning to take it as well.
Hello! I tend to have a fear of taking medications but within the past two years I’ve been on a vitamin supplement that was recommended by my doctor that is called ‘calm’ it’s basically a magnesium supplement since a magnesium deficiency has proven to be a huge cause for anxiety and when I take it, I feel better within seconds and has played a huge part in taking away my vicious panic attacks. Mind you, the anxious thoughts will still be there but easier to keep from full blown panic mode. Hope this helps and good luck!
