Hi, I am 52 years old and I admit that ever since my husband died, I am not myself. The main things I am fighting are depression and anxiety. I have been using some medications for that, but I have to say that nothing was as effective as I hoped it would be and occasionally I had to suffer from side effects. Should I try with 5-htp for anxiety?
Hmm, that just might be the right solution for you. It has been clinically proved that 5-htp is efficient when it comes to anxiety and the good thing is that it has less side effects than the standard medications. It also boosts serotonin and melatonin. I did not use it personally, but a friend of mine did and it really helped her a lot. I hope that will be your case too.

Hello there,

My friend has tried with 5-htp for anxiety treatment and it did help her in the beginning but afterwards her symptoms and side effects were the same so she has switched to some others. It seems that her body gets easily adjusted to new medications so it is needed to switch them more often. I hope that you don’t have the same issues and her doctor also said that this is happening very rare.

Also, if you want to change your meds you should consult with your doctor about this. It isn’t wise to do this on your own and without his opinion about your condition.

I hope that new meds are going to help you and good luck.
