| Good choice. I began looking at 5HTP after phen fen was pulled 1+ years ago. I was looking at something for appetite suppression and was doing so well, I didn't want to lose ground.
5HTP works with the seritonin in our brain. I became interested when my doctor wanted to give me a rx for prozac. No, not for depression, but for weight loss. Weight loss clinics and doctors are now prescribing prozac for weight loss. Anyway, after reading everything I could get my hands on, hundreds of reports from medical journals, FDA, etc., I began taking the supplement.
I take a very small dosage 100 mg at night. Take it at night as it can make you sleepy. My cravings for carbs have dropped, I sleep well and wake feeling refreshed. PMS symptoms lessened. I don't want to bore you, so I'll stop there. Advice? Do your research prior to putting anything in your body. Read the bad with the good and make an educated decision.
