Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Anyone used 5HTP? What for? Our DAN is recommending it for my son to perhaps 'clear up' the last of the little OCD type things he does. Perhaps also for our NT son who had some mood swings and can be quite emotional. I've purchased 50mg chewables that should show up this week. I have a phone appt with the DAN on Friday. ANyone?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I give my 34 pound boys 150 mg of 5HTP every evening. It helps to calm them and actually helps them to stay asleep through the night. Dana From: tinayorkie <tinayorkie@...> Subject: 5HTP Anyone? Date: Sunday, January 11, 2009, 9:27 PM Anyone used 5HTP?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I give my child 2x5htp 50 mg in the morning, om empty stomach to increase serotonin turnover following my DAN. This as a result from an urine analysis that showed that my son had problems with his serotonin levels. HTH ANN > > Anyone used 5HTP?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yes. Advice I got from the Yasko site that my doctor did not tell me is to start low, maybe 1/8 to 1/4 of the capsule, and work up. Otherwise it could be too much of a surge and cause problems. Also, from reading Ross' book, you do not need it long term. Reevaluate after 1 to 3 months. I did see some positives, usually quickly after injesting. > > Anyone used 5HTP?
