5HTP taken with prescribed meds: Is it safe to take the 5HTP with Wellbutrin and prozac as an addition to these meds to see if it will help the NON focus factor and the MAJOR put off everything instead of getting it done!!!

Research shows that when HTP was added to Prozac, it increased its effectiveness in massive amounts. 5-HTP has been used in Europe for decades as a natural antidepressant. That being said, NEVER combine multiple agents that act as serotonin reuptake inhibitors without professional opinion of your physician or naturopathic expert. Also, your "major put off", I would suggest taking a look at the book, The Mood Cure, which will provide a questionnaire so you can identify which brain chemicals you need assistance in, as serotonin may not be the only one (which HTP affects). Hope this helps.

I take 2 PB8 in the morning. I think they work very well for my needs. Hope you find it works for you.

ProZac, yes this is the same device i have and it works like a charm!! Just make sure you adjust the sliders a little to the left first. They are able to be adjusted as part of the device, not a rig. Also, make sure you start with the clamps open each time then squeeze them together to make it hold. The quality of sound is phenomenal too! Enjoy it!

GABA, 5-HTP, Melatonin. Label dosage did nothing for me, needed more, then was drowsy the next day. Better to eat dried cherries.

I think you're supposed to take 500mg per day, which would mean taking two 250mg tablets per day. I would not take these again, as they have way too much vitamin B6 in them which can cause neuropathy.

Am not sure about x-peak, but if you are referring to what brought about the ems crisis, according to what I read it wasn't just tryptophan contaminants as much as tryptophan itself which even when pure produces harmful metabolites, and also raises systematic histamin levels to a very bad level , so much that it can initiate ems syndrome. .. 5htp is a step up from tryptophan, and add far as i know, I don't think it has that effect. .. That being said however, take caution with 5htp since it has thepotential to cause heart valve fibrosis when at high levels. . Other than that I can only day that 5htp was a key supplement when taken for a month at repeated low daily doses in completely taking out my depression. .. But if you wish to use it for that pls do your own research on what to take it with and what not to take it with, for how long, and at what times. . And according to how it unfolds to you.. Just some notes to help: Sometimes you may need to incorporate tyrosin with 5htp therapy. . Depression can be caused from more than one thing ( physical or mental stress, diet, too much junk food, cellular stress, b deficiency, zinc, selenium, magnesium, lack of omega 3s, drug use.. And so on.. The point is that if you are trying to treat a low mood problem, which I don't know if you are, the key is first good diet with protiens and good complex carbs, excercise and move on to the rest, you know what your doing right or wrong best. Off topic but I found mr. Happy stacks (uridine, omega 3, and choline to be a good stabilizers).. Again what works for one might not work for the other, but I just thought it would be helpful to throw around my thoughts. . But I recommend you look into uridine if you have a low motivation problem, since it upregulates dopamine receptors. . Sorry if this is long and boring, and not what you were looking for. Good luck and stay healthy!

I've found that when I first started taking Phenibut i had very lucid dreams. But phenibut can be addicting and has really bad withdrawals similar to benzos. Recently i've been using Mood support from NOW foods with 100mg of 5htp in the morning and 200mg of 5htp at night along with 5mg of melatonin and its a hit or miss on the lucid dreaming ascpect with this combo. But i will say if you throw in some high quality instant shaman Kava Kava from a place like nakamalathome.com you will feel like your in the dreams its crazy lol. and kava thats high quality makes u feel really really good to.Btw guys you have to get prescribed to Galantamine its not a supplement.

Yes, for me it has helped enormously. As they say, get the R-ALA. I got the 600mg the last time. It is the bomb.

I do not know what pill might work, but homeopathics are always a good place to start when oral meds are preferred. By that I mean the pellets sold in small tubes. There are many available.

Diphenhydramine HCL. Same as the majority of them. ugh. The ONLY one that ever worked for me s not on the market now. Excederin PM. It had the sme ingredient but efficient with it's additional compounds. (Some they messed up on then and had a mix rues of opioids) funny but off the market now, probably because of that.

Yes I have taken both "Deplin" and/or 3 daily of the 5MTHF otherwise 15mg daily of the "Thorne" brand. I knew Deplin was expensive but darn!! It makes this look inexpensive doesn't it?

Many people prefer a smaller 250mg tablet. Two of these a day give me the DO and urologist recommended dosage for my bones and kidneys. Concerning the vitamin B6 (actually several compounds), taking 20 tablets daily would cause you to exceed the upper limit established by the FNB; that is half the 200mg daily intake observed to cause no ill effect. I've been taking 1 a day for 5 years or so. With low calcium and occasional kidney stones, both DO and urologist recommended 500mg a day, so I'm subscribing to a calcium supplement without the B6. I already get 15mg from my multivitamin. I don't absorb vitamins and minerals well; could probably get 400mg a day without noticing anything. Many people prefer a smaller 250mg tablet.

I haven't use the pharmaceutical and I am not very sure if this had an actual effect on me. I ended up taking vitamin complex B every morning, omega 3, and vitamin C. Besides meditation.

I love alpha brain, I was on adderall for a while and when I take this I don't need to take the adderall for concentration and mental clarity. Its not a miracle drug but it is a heck of a lot better than a pharmaceutical for me personally. I recommend this to everyone I know who wants that extra edge of concentration or is thinking about pharmaceuticals such as adderall for help. I'm a smaller female (127 lbs- 5'7) and I take 2 in the morning to bust through my work day and workouts. Love it

500mg each. I typically only need 1. Remember these tips for use. This is a protein precursor so you will not show much affect if you have eaten protein recently. Eat dinner a few hours before bed, and take the Tryptophan about 30 minutes before you need to sleep. This like all amino acids function much better when you add a B-Vitamin complex to it as a transport mechanism.
