Just wanted to share my experience with 5-HTP....

I'd read it about and was particularly interested in it to help with mild insomnia and a lack of restful sleep...

I tried it on two different ocassions...I'd heard warnings about possible nausea/upset stomach, so I was careful to keep the dose low.

It did not work for me at all...on both ocassions, it only slightly help me get to sleep and reduced night wakings. That's ok...but when I woke, both times I had a sickeningly dry mouth and had a mild headache all day. I wouldn't have blamed 5HTP for this after trial 1, but this happened again to exactly the degree the second time. I will not take the product again.

I'm sure this is a YMMV kind of thing, and I don't argue with the success of others with this product...but it's clearly not for everyone. I sincerely hope other who try it don't have the same reaction...but don't be dissappointed if you do...
