I would love to know about this product, I have also been looking into Seredyn. Please keep posted on how the 5htp works and is there any drug interactions that you know of, I am currently on xanax xr (4 days now & do not like it) however I think I would need to switch to xanax pr as needed to keep level, do you guys konw if the 5htp would interact? Thanks Tee

Hello everyone,
5htp didn't help me. The side effects are headaches and IBS. I prefer to take valerian root when I need to. I find that this works better for me. As per taking 5htp with other medication it is not recommended. I also like to drink relaxing teas like calm by Tazo and relaxity by triple leaf.What I also like taking from time to time are called calms # 3260 by puritan's pride.com. These are all natural and works really well, especially If u drink the teas 2x a day. I hope this helps.

I tried it but only for one day. . . it made me tired at first but then that evening I had a really bad panic attack. It may have been my fear of it so who knows.

I have a friend that tried it and she said it elevated her mood and helped her sleep. My neighbor also takes it and it helps her with anxiety and depression.

P.S. if you're taking antidepressants already, you shouldn't take 5-htp.

I have a question. I take Effexor (225 mg) and have also started taking the vitamins that came with the program. Is this a bad idea?

Thanks,

Jeff
