ha! i got the jump on you depressed antisocial motherfuckers! walked into work (GNC) the other day since i was working my other job next door and i get to wander around all afternoon.......lo and behold, 5-HTP is in! alert! so grabbed a bottle. I've been using 4X50mg a day or 200mg for about 4 days now. Not sure if any of you will notice this, but i am getting headaches ever since. i also use MD6 (pretty potent EC-Y stack) and 30mg dbol a day, so i figure that may be causing it. but it really started a little while after 5HTP. let me know if you all get headaches.

I'd suggest throwing in about 6 - 10 grams of inositol with it (over 3 - 4 doses). 300 grams can be had for $7 at BAC.

Warbird, try dropping to 100 mgs/day and see if your headaches go away.

yeah, i'm on 7 grams inositol a day myself (for almost two weeks). and i think i'll do just that, drop the second 100mg dose in the afernoon of the 5HTP. i really think that it is the cause of the headaches....because i got nothing on the ECY and dbol for two weeks. Got paxil coming anyway, so 100mg of 5HTP and one 20mg paxil with the inositol should do something. i feel its helping already with what i am using now.

Stick with the inositol and 5-htp for awhile; see if you can avoid the paxil.

I tried the inositol for a while, up to 10 grams, and got nothing from it. I guess I am a non responder.

Unfortunately, nothing works for everybody. And of course, qualities vary between manufacturers and batches.

However, studies have been done up to 50 grams a day with inositol. If you've got some left, try 20 grams and see if anything happens.

Steve Harris about periferal serotonin:

5-hydroxytrytophan (5-HTP) is what's sold as a serotonin brain
precursor. It is taken up into the brain. If you could keep if from
getting converted to serotonin in the liver, you'd be in great shape.
Taking 10 mg of B6 a day, however, is going to get most of it converted
to serotonin before it has a chance to get into the brain. 50 mg a day
without carbodopa is too much, since most of it will get converted to
serotonin, and 50 mg a day of "outside the brain" serotonin or so is
about the amount associated wtih heart damage in carcinoid syndrome.
