Hey all,
So today, after LOTS of research I finally bought some 5-HTP.
I want to keep this opening post short and straight to the point so here goes...
As I've mentioned on various other threads on ioplist I take the following, every day:
Anxiety / Sleep:
-10mg D1az3pam (5mg in the morning and 5mg in the early afternoon)
--This seems to keep my anxiety at bay
-50mg Doxylamine Succinate + 2.5mg Melatonin each night, just before bed.
--This has helped me beat insomnia
General wellbeing:
-100mg Magnesium Glysinate
--Most people are deficient in magnesium and this provides 25% of the RDA. I'm pretty sure I got the rest through my diet
-15mg to 20mg Zinc (100% - 133% RDA) each day
--Usually 7.5mg - 10mg in the morning and the same at night
-HALF of a Multi Vitamin & Iron tablet each morning (providing 50% of all other vitamins)
I think I might stop this and replace it with just Iron
Now, why 5-HTP?
Well, I have read 5-HTP can help a lot of things, like insomnia, anxiety etc along with lifting your mood (I'm not depressed but hey) so I have decided to try it.
I'm hoping it will replace my Melatonin and Doxylamine intake and help reduce my D1az3pam intake.
Today is day 1, I have no idea if it will help or not but I'll be sure to keep this thread updated as much as possible.
Over and out
