In reply to Which do you prefer -- 5-HTP or L-Tryptophan?, posted by ghuber on December 27, 2005, at 8:36:17
Some people respond to one but not the other. Some people can't tell the difference from one to the other. And some people don't respond at all. It's the same old trial and error game.
I'm samplinig 5htp right now. So far it feels like lexapro or zoloft or any ssri, except without the side effects. For me that means I'm still depressed but not as much, at least I'm out of the crying zone, but I have no zeal or vitality for life. Every day is still real hard.
I have tryptophan and will try that in a few days if things don't improve by then.
