Hi Doctor, you are truly amazing. I started with 5 htp few months ago to tackle my depression, OCD, thoughts bombardment and bad sleep. I was on SSRIs before that for a long time which were very effective but decided to try more natural ways and hence started with 50mg 5 HTP. It worked really well. I shuffled it with Tryptophan. But now I feel it is becoming less effective. It seems I should try l tyrosine as well in day time? Also, how is the best way to take 5 htp, take with vitamin b complex or magnesium? How much mg of Vitamin B6? In other videos comments you said 100 mg vitamin b complex and 200 mg of magnesium, is isn't too much for daily intake limit? Also, can you recommend a brand for vitamin b complex and magnesium and also the timing when to take it? Thanks a ton Doctor, you are a savior.

Remember the 'daily requirement' --> is the BARE MINIMUM you need to take in a day. I recommend B6 100mg and Magnesium Glycinate 200 mg with the 5HTP before bedtime. You can take L-Theanine 200 mg as well which will convert to GABA to help with sleep. The brands I always recommend doing your own research because there are many excellent brands. Hope this helps.

Another question, why do you recommend to take 5htp short term? I have read some information that seems to suggest that most ssri affects or lower dopamine levels which could suggest that taking 5htp for long periods of time could have a similar effect to taking ssri during long periods, or am im on the wrong direction? I mean people take ssri for decades without even supplementing l tyrosine. Or is there some fundamental difference between taking 5htp and ssri other than that 5htp raise serotonin levels in general, while ssri inhibits the reuptake and thus the destruction of serotonin in the brain, leaving you with more serotonin in your brain as a result?

Question for you Dr Jawad... I have read and seen where it is not best to take 5 HTP for more than a few weeks. Is this because people fail to balance it with L Tyrosine or Mucana Pruriens? In other words, is it okay to take 5-HTP indefinitely as long as you balance it with Mucana Pruriens? Or do you still recommend only taking this combo a few weeks at a time? I ask this because I have been taking 5 HTP for a few days and it has greatly helped my insomnia. However, I have not balanced it with L Tyrosine or Mucana Pruriens. I have some L Tyrosine on hand but not Mucana. So another question would be... Will the L Tyrosine do absolutely nothing in balancing or will it help a little? I know you recommend Mucana.

Why not take tryptophane instead of 5htp? Sure because of the rate limiting step the increase of serotonin is slower, but isn't it more natural? 5htp enables us to bypass rls thus producing more serotonin. Isn't that potentially more problematic than producing more normal quantities through tryptophane?

@thejdocrealminute4648

2 жыл бұрын

5-HTP is generally recommended over l-tryptophan because it crosses the blood-brain barrier at a higher rate, is converted into serotonin more efficiently than l-tryptophan, and has a more pronounced antidepressant effect. The rate determining step is the slowest step of a chemical reaction that determines the speed (rate) at which the overall reaction proceeds. The rate determining step can be compared to the neck of a funnel. The rate at which water flows through a funnel is limited/ determined by the width of the neck of the funnel and not by the rate at which the water is poured into the funnel. Like the neck of the funnel, the slow step of a reaction determines the rate of a reaction. Not all reactions have rate determining steps and has one only if one step is significantly slower than the other steps in the reaction.

Confused!! I'm an older lady and just need to know in simple terms what to buy. The actual names of each, the dosage and best time to take.

If your on an SSRI you don’t need 5HTP. Plus combining an SSRI with 5htp may increase serotonin levels too high!

Hey, I just started taking 5htp and want to add L-Tyrosin now as well. I heard that I should take L-Tyrosin without food because its fighting with the other amino acids for "the way into our brain". But does this also apply to 5htp. Can I take both together in the morning?

Tyrosine might increase how much thyroid hormone the body produces. Taking tyrosine with thyroid hormone pills might cause there to be too much thyroid hormone. This could increase the effects and side effects of thyroid hormones. I haven't found that MP can cause increased uric acid production NOR the dosage if it can.

I would recommend L-tyrosine in the morning. 5 HTP if taken twice a day.....lower the dosage.

Hello, a couple of questions. 1) I am taking 5-HTP for insomnia. I took 100 mg for 5 consecutive days before bedtime, then I took 200 mg for 7 consecutive days before bedtime, now I am on 300 mg for the last 10 consecutive days before bedtime and will continue this dosage for awhile. I have yet to see any improvements in sleep and I know it may take longer yet to start seeing results. Do I continue with the dosage I am on and keep going, or do I increase dosage? If increasing dosage, how many days in succession usually is a good rule before increasing dosage? 2) I also read that 5-HTP can elevate serum cortisol levels. If that be the case, does one really take 5-HTP before bedtime? Maybe a different time of the day? I usually wake up a couple of hours after going to sleep. I was hoping 5-HTP was going to solve this and let me sleep for a longer duration. Any feedback. Anyone at all.
