5HTP used for anxiety

[pseclint]

anybody had any luck using this for anxiety therapy..... also what kind of dose did you use

[tex]

if you have used traditional meds ( benzodiazaprines ) in the past then the 5htp will probably disappoint.......gaba was always recommended highly ..........i tried kava kava extract once and it made me feel like a can of smashed assholes.......nothin beats a benzo ( xanax, valium ) but theres the risk of dependancy with extended usage.....

Defiantly the most natural route to go....some people respond well some don't ..kind of like melatonin.

In some 5-HTP has the same effect as most SSRI's. It will also produce the same sides so a down regulation in sexual performance is also on the agenda with decreased anxiety. That made it a definate NO on my list. Used some Oxycalm for a while and that had a nice effect.

I use Gravol 12-hour. Stop laughing, it will settle your stomach and you'll feel and sleep so much better hence lowering your anxiety and stress levels. Make sure you buy the 12-hour one and not the mini-ones. Great thing is, Gravol is not addicting. Buy the 4-pack, it's cheap and tell me the success story.
