DOSE: |
300 mg | oral | Tryptophan - 5-HTP |
BODY WEIGHT: | 175 lb |
At around two hours after the first dose, I took an additional 200mg. I didn't notice any effects beyond what I had already attained from the original dose.
Yesterday I took 300mg all at once at around 1:00 PM. I didn't experience any of the mood lift I had felt the night before and began to wonder if that was just a placebo effect.
I didn't experience any of the mood lift I had felt the night before and began to wonder if that was just a placebo effect.
Today, as I write this, it's been 34 hours since the 300 mg dose. My stomach pain hasn't gone away at all. The bloating has started to subside a little, but the pain hasn't. If anything, it's gotten a bit worse. I did a search to see if 5-HTP could cause bloating, and I'm very certain that it's what's caused my problem.
I'll probably experiment with it again in about a week, but I'll be sticking to low doses, either the recommended 50 or the 100 mg that seemed to work for me without causing any upset.
If I'd known beforehand that a somewhat high dose of 5-HTP would affect me like this, I wouldn't have taken so much. I'm normally very careful about how much I take, regardless of what it is, but this time I underestimated the negative side effects of 5-HTP and paid the price.
