great video, I just discovered 5htp and feel good effects for anxiety and depression, I turned to it because I had to wait 3 weeks to see my doctor to get back on citalopram, so I tried this in the mean time and am happy to stick with it instead of citalopram, I like that I can just buy it instead of having to go through the inadequate health system here in the UK. I've been on citalopram 3 times, and every time the doctor ended up weaning me off again because I felt normal again, but then a few months later I'd need to go back on it, and that on off process felt depressing in itself as a concept. Anyway my question is, in your opinion is 5htp generally suitable for long term use? Or do you think it will cause the brain to produce less serotonin at some point, or build a tolerance to it. Thanks.

@@DrJanelleSinclair Ah I've just seen that you've already answered that. "Unfortunately there's no long term studies on 5-HTP. It's shown to be safe in studies for 1 year."

@@DrJanelleSinclair Some important points not mentioned in this presentation; Tryptophan is an amino acid, therefore it competes for absorption with other proteins. This is why it is advised to take on an empty stomach, and not at meal times! (you can also take with a small amount of carbohydrate, piece of apple, a cracker, to also aid absorption) It is also advisable only to take once a day in the evening when the natural serotonin / melatonin cycle is active. Also, it is very important to also take L-Tyrosine (amino acid) 500-1000mg (empty stomach) once daily in the morning for the length of time you supplement with 5-htp. Serotonin and Dopamine are on the same axis, that is, if you increase one, you force down the other, which can cause all sorts of unwanted effects and delay relief from depression.

Took my first dose yesterday and normally at the store or out in public I’m constantly anxious thinking everybody is watching me (when I know they’re not). I went to the store yesterday and noticed when I got to the car I was absolutely unconcerned about anybody at all. I was able to stand in line and all that was on my mind was what I was going to do later for dinner when I’d normally be antsy to get the hell out of there. I also have insomnia and take 50 mg of Benadryl to get to sleep. I slept and only woke up twice when I usually wake up about once every hour and had a dream where I laughed myself awake. I haven’t had any dreams like that since I was a kid. I will definitely keep 5htp around.

This morning I not taken Cymbalta and instead I have taken my first 100mg cap of 5-HTP. I’m going to try 100mg twice a day for a couple of weeks and see how I go. I’ve tried in the past to stop Cymbalta at this point without any thing else and after a few days I’ve gone back to it. But this time with 5-HTP and the support of family I hope I can be successful.

Back in my crazy 20s going to college we would hit the town and go to raves where ten thousand people would go every weekend and we dropped alot of ecstasy. Sometimes the next day or two would be rough until a friend told us about 5-HTP. That stuff would stop our hangovers and muscle cramps and made us feel normal the next day after a rave so it does work!

Have tried just about every type of antidepressant. They eventually stop being effective about 4 - 6 weeks in without a big increase and that brings more side effects, which ruin any positive effect the medication had. So frustrating and has left me feeling hopeless for years that I'd ever get better. I eat well, exercise and meditate already which makes my depression so much more difficult to kick. Hopefully a trial of 5-HTP will give me some life back, as some people have also reported my issue with antidepressants with 5-HTP being the overall solution.

Doctor, warm hello from India. I consumed tryptophan in June, and noticed immediate improvement in my mood and fibromyalgia. Within two days, my brain was working the best it had worked in years. I was blown away!! Also my digestion the first few days was remarkable! However, by fourth day, I started feeling drowsy. And this was on just 500mg once a day dose of tryptophan. I eventually settled to taking tryptophan every alternate day and it worked well for me. I could never again feel the way I did on the second day after starting tryptophan - I was almost operating like Sherlock Holmes, no kidding! But anyway I was still content feeling the way I did. It was way better than how I was before tryptophan. Anyway, when that bottle finished towards September end, I got a new one but gradually I realised it didn't suit my stomach. It would trigger a bad case of IBS. I changed the brand, that also didn't help. I last week got 5htp, but its first two doses itself triggered the ibs again. How can I consume it without this IBS side effect. Would love some advice from you

1st I'm not a doctor so this is NOT medical advice. From what I read you shouldn't take it for longer than 3 weeks or your body will notice the increased levels and slow down its natural production. So 3 weeks on 1 week off and repeat if necessary. From the limited research done they aren't sure long term effects but early tests show it might cause bone density issues with long term use. My doctor told me to wear a heavy backpack or a weighted vest (think weight room weighted vest) and walk around for a while each day to load up my bones and maintain it. He said you need the weight over your shoulders evenly so your skeletal structure all has a slight load on it then walk with good posture. I find excercise in general naturally lifts my mood and I rarely need my 5htp. I did a blood test and found my vitamin D level was extremely low so I take a supplement for that which also helps my mood. I try to cut out lots of carbs from my diet too since sugar (carbs turn into sugar in the body) naturally helps cancer grow and is as addictive as some illicit street drugs. Pretty much take 1 week off a month and break a good sweat working out jogging pushups ect (if your doctor says it's safe) and eat clean food going low carb but high healthy fats and proteins or keto diet. Get your 8-9hr of sleep and make sure you aren't deficient in vitamins especially vitamin D.

Hi Dr Janelle, I was scrolling through the comments but I couldn't find anyone asking about what happens if you stopped taking 5HTP after taking it for a while? Because I've heard with prescribed anti-depressants, if you plan on coming off them, you're not supposed to come off them suddenly, as it could greatly impact your mood, and you should very gradually come off them? Although, I haven't heard many cases in people coming off anti-depressants, but more like increasing their doses more and more...

Hi Kim. Great question. I don't believe there will be any side effects coming off the 5-htp. It's really just that you may go back to experiencing the same low mood or issue that you have now. I suggest that you start with the dosages discussed in the video and only use a higher dose if you need it. While you are taking the 5-htp I suggest that you look into other reasons you may have low mood (eg. Low vitamin D, zinc or unban blood sugars). If you treat underlying causes of low mood you may not need to stay on the 5-htp.
