Hi all, I was researching something yesterday and came across reviews on a natural supplement called 5htp. Users rave about it for use in a variety of conditions including fibro and depression. They apparently work by producing extra serotonin which is what we fibro sufferers don't produce enough of. Have any of you tried it?
Has anyone tried the natural remedy 5... - Fibromyalgia Acti...
Has anyone tried the natural remedy 5htp?
no but sounds interesting x
Lolly, its all very well with these "wonder supplements" but they can be very expensive and not beneficial I think I would be talking to my GP and get their thoughts.
Hugs x x x x
It didnt do anything for me.
I have tried it and found it very helpful.It is an amino acid that can be obtained from any protien food, particularly turkey and tuna. So its not like taking a medication its very natural. Its not a "wonder supplement". Its not cheap but neither is it over the top expensive. About £15 for months supply
I'm going to give it a go. I've read loads of reviews and the vast majority are positive so its got to be worth a try for a month. I'm struggling with the amiltryptiline as I find I can't function at work the day after, this stuff is supposed to aid sleep too so maybe its a natural alternative. I'll let you know how I get on x
Good luck with it - I hope it works well for you xx
Best of luck - but don't use it if you are already taking anti-depressants.
let us know how you get on with them lolly - I much prefer to have natural stuff than drugs.
I seem to have a low tolerance for chemicals lol

I've not tried that one but have tried Cherry Active and that has helped with stress levels and is slightly improving my sleep at night. It's just taken as a cordial mixing with 8 parts water.
Good Luck with whatever you try.
