5-HTP for depression?


14 years ago 0 31 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hello,
 
Has anyone tried taking 5-HTP to treat depression? I've taken it for sleep problems (with some success) but have never taken it specifically to address my depressive symptoms, which requires increased and more frequent dosages rather than just taking it before bedtime. I've done some research but would like to hear people's experiences with it.
 
Thanks,
Flint
