Pill of happiness and good mood) I started taking them on an empty stomach before bed, as suggested. Over time, my schedule relaxed, and I still took a capsule an hour after eating. Nothing seemed to change. 5-HTP can cause nausea and diarrhea as side effects, especially with a full stomach. I experienced mild heartburn initially, but that resolved. At first, I felt no effect, which is expected as the drug works cumulatively. Two weeks in, I found myself more energetic and productive during my day off. I even returned to sports—a long-abandoned habit. While my sleep didn’t improve, my motivation did, and I no longer craved sweets as much as before. If you’re hoping to lose weight, I doubt its effectiveness, but it’s enough that 5-HTP has restored my zest for life. Consult a doctor if you have serious health issues.

I hoped the relaxing effect would help with my stage fright, but since I have IBS, I ended up with diarrhea. I thought it best to first address my stomach and intestines with probiotics.

It helps, but there are side effects! I purchased this supplement for my nervous wife and mother. My wife benefited greatly, becoming calm and affectionate. However, my mother suffered from diarrhea for three days after taking it and therefore stopped. It seems to cause diarrhea in some individuals, but overall, it’s an excellent supplement for calming nerves.

No headaches
As I’m withdrawing from antidepressants (25% dose), this small dosage provided a surplus of serotonin. It caused diarrhea initially, but that quickly resolved. Most importantly, I experienced no headaches unlike the effects of tryptophan.

Regained vitality
I began taking one capsule before bed on an empty stomach, as suggested. Eventually, I became less strict and took it an hour after a meal. Side effects like nausea and diarrhea are noted with 5-HTP. I had some heartburn at first, but it subsided. Initially, I noticed no difference, but two weeks later, my energy surged; I cleaned my flat thoroughly and got back to exercise, something I hadn’t done in ages. Though my sleep quality hasn’t notably improved, I feel more motivated throughout the day and less inclined to binge on sweets, which is welcome. Many, including myself, may question its weight loss efficacy, but it certainly revitalised my spirit. Consult a doctor for any serious conditions.
