I've got answers!!!
So she gave me supplements to take at night which break down the dopamine and norepinephrine ( called calm prt) and she gave me chewable (SeroTrex which is a mix of
5HTP
and l-thenine and magnesium) to take during the day which help to balance all of your neurotransmitters.

Too much tears
I started taking the supplement
5htp
2 days ago, I'm not sure if this will be enough to get me up out of this dark hole. Any advise should I just back down and go back on meds or should I struggle along and see if the
5htp
will eventually help, anybody out there taken
5htp
before??

Praise for 5htp!
Hi guys, just an update on
5htp
since we've been talking a little about it on the threads recently: I didn't realise just how much work it was doing until I stopped taking it! I didn't take the supplement for a month and my god!

Ndt help please?
Ashwaganda root,
5htp
, glycosamin, probiotic and enzyme blend pm, 1h after pm dose (the probiotic and enzyme blend makes me need the loo after about 8 hours hence evening dose instead of am). Any suggestions?? Is my body just chemically jetlagged or something more need to be done? Thanks :) :)

Still can not sleep(what is wrong with me)
For start I chose to take 2 pills of
5HTP
but the doctor told me it's not enough for my condition. I never used this medications before and I'm a little scared.

I mentioned 5HTP - But i just found something out!
Hey guys i think i mentioned
5HTP
in a post - as its supposed to lift your mood and help you release more serotonin it can help anxiety and stress which can in turn help your IBS! and i have taken it before and found it helpful (along with evening primrose oil).

Things that have helped my IBS-D in the past - maybe they can help you :)
5htp
- I also used to take this and will be getting again - this is a natural way to balance yourself out without taking antidepressants -defo look in to it first and see what you think and if you can take it along side any other meds - but it may help with anxiety etc!

Adrenal Stress results - high cortisol. Noooooo!
I am currently depressed and stressed (due to this damned illness and getting no support from medics) so taking
5HTP
. Do I need over the counter adrenal support or HC? Do I just need to chillax? And if so, how!?

Adrenal Stress Profile results
I have been taking adaptogens since the test: Rhodiola rosea 2 x 200 mg during the day and
5HTP
1 x 50 mg at night to help with disturbed sleep. My main question is should I continue with these or would thorne adrenal cortex be more beneficial. TIA

Getting better!
Magnesium, calcium & Zinc, SAM-e,
5HTP
, Selenium, hemp oil ( my hair had got so coarse & crispy ! Then I remembered Hemp oil taken orally is a very good source of Omeaga, and makes your hair so soft, it really does! ) I stopped eating Almonds, apparently they aren't good for your thyroid!

Thyroxine at 5/6am??? Is there a reason why it works better at this time?
In the morning I used to take it alone and wait for an hour before coffee, eating and vitamins; in the evening I used to take it with
5htp
, tyrosine and melatonin (So i guess there might have been some hormonal infighting there?) Just out of interest- I just thought it was a bit odd.

My cheese is sliding off my cracker!
Then I read that Changing Seratonin levels can bring on migraines ( L-
5HTP
? )... And because of my awful low mood yesterday.. I wondered in I'm bi-polar? I was surprised to read about the confirmed connection between thyroid issues and bi-polar syndrome.. One thing I do know, is I'm screwed.

Interferon, low mood and 5htp....
Does anyone have any experience of
5htp
? I know it's a precursor to seretonin production. But are there any side effects/pros/cons/things to consider thqt people have found? Thanks!

Feeling hypo on NDT after stressful day
For the last 3 nights I have been taking
5HTP
and sleeping really well, better than ever before and I even had a dream last night that Poldark was cuddling me!! It was amazing. I wondered if
5HTP
had anything to do with the low thyroid symptoms?
