Guest guest Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi everyone, I started my son on 5htp three days ago and now we are dealing with insomnia. We started it based on oat results as his Quinolinic/5HIAA ratio is high although quinolinic is normal but 5HIAA levels are below the mean. So we started to supplement 5htp to increase 5hiaa and to improve the ratio but so far it is causing a lot of sleep disturbance. This morning he probably woke up around 3 am. He is still awake past midnight and there is no sign of sleep. I know that insomnia is a known side effect of 5htp but is there anything that I need to do differently to add 5htp? Or is the sign that I should stop it right away? Thanks is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
