Has anyone here tried 5htp for depression? I’m very interested in this. I would like to hear if anyone has any personal anecdotes. (not sure if this is the correct forum?)
I took it once, for stress, not depression. This is what happened.
Ummm… so it was a bad trip?
Not the best…
I suspect I’m unusual in my response to SSRIs, however.
Jeez!! I didn’t know it could do that. How much did you take??
I’ve taken prozac and celexa before and I didn’t like either of them.
5htp is not SSRI, right? I have massive tolerance for SSRIs, ie, I unusually need massive dose to feel anything at all.
Either 50mg or 100mg. Like I say, I don’t think I’m normal.
ETA: my apologies, Wikipedia says it’s a serotonin precursor not an SSRI.
We already know you are not normal… but then again who is? 
Close. Moving this one forum up (to IMHO).
But did you get the contract?
I’ve posted my opinion on this before, but you won’t ever truly get over your depression until you are willing to rethink, re-evaluate, and then unconditionally and unmercifully nuke every single belief that you have about yourself. Until that happens you will just be going from therapy to drug to therapy and around again. I am living proof, and have never been as joyful as I am right now-if an idiot like me can pull it off you can too.
