    Default 5-htp

    Hi ladies!

    I started taking 1 pill of 5-htp with an empty stomach in the morning (because the bottle says to take it on an empty stomach) but it makes me really nauseous and feel sick.. but it seems to help my mood.. does anybody have any experiences with it good or bad? Thanks!

    I take this supplement as well and experience similar effects when I pop one on an empty stomach. I now take them with milk and feel a lot better afterwards.

    I've used it, but I've never done it on an empty stomach.If I don't eat in the am I'm a bitch all day. It still worked very well for me. But only a certain brand- from vitamin shop. The grocery store brand did nothing.

    I take one everyone morning...I'm bipolar. Just take it with milk, you should be fine.

    Oh, and the MRM brand works best for me. I get it at VP Discount...

    I've taken it with food. That's weird they say to take on empty stomach. I've never heard of any pill or vitamin take you should take on empty stomach.

    It helps regulate your sleep patterns...but I take mine in the morning so I don't forget.

    i love 5-HTP! Try taking it at night. There is a supplement out there called Night Rx or something like that in supplement stores that has GABA and 5-HTP to help you sleep better and improve mood.
