Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hey Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has used 5HTP for sleep? I have heard you can take it. I am currently on xanax but have been trying to get off of it and onto something natural since the xanax seems to be not as effective anymore. So bought the 50mg of 5HTP and tried it for a week and no luck. Then, read the you may need to take 100-500mg a day? and can take up to a month before it works? Just wondering if anyone has had any success or no success with it? Thoughts? Suggestions? I've had the best luck managing my fibromyalgia with supplements and herbs so the xanax is the last I would like to be rid of. As all I have is fibro and no other diseases. So could use any help with natural sleep aids. I have tried melatonin and benadryl, but I usually wake up every hour with them. The xanax gives me 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep and is the best I've found so far. I would appreciate any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
