I had been in a relatively light but still very draining depression for the past year or so. I used 5-HTP a few times before but it was never when I was really depressed so all it did was give me a calmer feeling and slight contentment. This week I started using 5-HTP again, with doses averaging 300-500mg a day. By the very first few days I have already noticed an increased mood, and more positive thinking. I had already begun a change in my mentality before the 5-HTP that was pulling me out of my depression but the 5-HTP just catapulted me straight upwards and I feel that it is speeding the process. Some days I just look around me and am in this feeling of wonder and aliveness. It’s like that feeling of life has been handed back to me. It’s very meditative. I would recommend this. I have been on HTP for about a month and I can honestly say I am so happy I stated these. I would definitely recommend these to anyone that might be feeling off, sluggish and unhappy. It has definitely been subtle for me but it has improved my mood, sleep and made me more calm and relaxed overall.
