I was just wondering if anyone on this forum has ever tried 5-HTP? The precursor to trypophan, I believe? I am taking 100 mg once a day for my PMSPremenstrual syndrome Relieving pms and depression and it is working so well, I'm astounded. The side effects are mimimal, also. I know that it's not a well researched, over the counter drug,but so far, this stuff is blowing all the SSRIs out of the water as far as I'm concerned. I would say I don't have severe depression,but I have it bad enough that I was reclusive and panicky about interacting socially, and felt like a blob mentally.
I have heard that 5 htp can work wonders for depression as well as for increased energy try L-tyrosine.
Try asking this question in the other forum as you will get many answers from some experienced ppl.
Good luck!
