    Default sam-E vs. 5-HTP

    I did a search, and I know that I've seen threads on sam-E before, but when I put it in the textbox, nothing comes up.

    Anyhow, I've been taking 5-htp for about 2 weeks now, and while I feel as though it gives me a better night's rest, it makes me naseaus for a bit after taking it, and I def don't feel like I have more energy or a better mood.

    Do you all prefer sam-E or 5-htp, and how come?

    Ahh, true. Yeah, I found mostly good experiences on here concerning the 5-htp. Then again, people might've been taking 50mgs at a time, whereas my pills came in 100 mg. powdery things that I couldn't cut in half. I figured I'd eventually get used to the wanting to throw up feeling, but no such luck.
    Yay for GNC's return policy!

    Mine are 50 mg and you can get them at Walgreens and Rite Aid! No need to look online!

    I haven't tried 5-HTP yet. I take sam-e 400mg 2x a day and it definitely makes me feel better. Instead of being all depressed and sad, I'm mellow or normal. I wouldn't go as far as to say it makes me happy though. But I still like it enough to pay $70/m for it! Also, keep in mind, that everyone reacts to medication differently. It may work miracles for you or fail completely. I would suggest at least trying it yourself. It took a few days (2-3) before I noticed any improvment.
    BTW- If you have a vitamin warehouse store in your town they carry sam-e for about $3 cheaper....I think its 31.99 compared to $35. The 200mg formula is also cheaper. Hey, with how expensive it is, why not save a few bucks?
