i've noticed i feel really nervous and scared to leave the house when i forget to take this. it's been about 2 months since i have. i get bad tunnel vision and i can't consentrate or even think wll enough to be able to spell correctly. i found my bottle of 5-HTP last night. 3 pills left. probably why i had stopped taking it. i NEDD to go buy more. anyone else try this stuff?
i take it. i think the vitamins are making me crazy in it. i sware, no joke. for a few weeks a drank 2 beroca's a day, right. then i stoped. if i drink a beroca anyday, i feel completly weird and fucked and out of it and totally depressed. iv proven it to, too days iv taken it and then not taken it for a week and then taken it again and soo on. and now the same with 5htp, everytime i take it i feel totally abnormal. i dont understand whats goin on these days. but it used to be great. id suggest it to anyone.
not really... it doesn't make seritonin.. just helps the body make more i wouldn't be able to sleep if it was a problem
still sounds like a crutch. but i guess thats true about sleeping. pharmasuticals like that still scare me though
its NOT a pharmacuetical.. come on now.. you really think i'd put some chemicals into me that were NOT natural?? it comes from a plant
oh, i was kinda wondering wtf, i still dont trust stuff like that anyway, i dont care where its derived from. smileing increases serintonian
well.. it also helps with my migraines.. thats why i originally started taking it.. but i noticed it helped in other ways too
migrains, that must be a small piece of hell. I only get headaches from drinking to much and they dont last long but ive known people who suffered with those. And i couldn't blame them for doing anything short of cutting off there head to get them to stop but the migrains arnt the problem right now, right? its that you NEED your htp
i don't need it.. but it's nice to not feel like i'm in a tunnel.. it's nice to not have a dull headache all the time.. it's nice to be able to leave the house with out thinking i'm gonna freak out.. sure i could go to a doctor and have them prescribe me something that'll give me "lovely" side-effects.. but i'd rather up my seritonin naturally
so you felt like that before you started taking that drug, wasnt there times in your life when you didn't feel that way?
not really.. i've always been a bit.. off... seems to only be getting worse as i get older. reading books about it.. and trying to talk myself better.. isn't working.. so i looked into a natrual way to help myself.. i read about about 5-htp about 6 years ago and it sounded like something that'd halp me.. but i didn't start taking it until about a year later.. after talking with a nutritionist and she sugested i try it.. i usually take it for a few months.. then stop.. until i can't bare it any longer:&
Ive wondered,, do people who suffer from anxiety like that feel it in the woods away from babylon? I know at times it can a bit overwhelming for me, sometimes i feel like im the only otter in the rat race, and the rats cheat. i wonder if the hunchback is still useing that belltower
sometimes.. like when i go camping.. i can become VERY comfortable inside my tent.. but i do not allow myself to.. you seen that movie.. a beautiful mind? i try to do like that.. i know its there but i try not to let it rule me.. sometimes i have to let it do it's thing and just be "crazy" for the day.. sometimes i plan to "take a vacation" from my aniextys and just tell myself .. "on this date i will not have any of these problems, because i'm on vacation from them.. they are miles away" usually works (what about bob?) hehe
I think i just use my own populariety to validate myself too much sometimes, expeciely when im feeling like a loser because i cant seem to get i want in life. Makes me feel like a bad fit. I feel so much more at home in the woods, its a world i understand and can live with. a place where the simple willingness to work hard will get me all ever want or need. No paperwork, and no fine print. I remeber i liked that movie " dangerous minds" and i remeber its about a math guy,
ive been taking this shit for a week, trying to treat depression and anxiety. I still felt like shit, but I kept on taking it because I assumed it was helping at least a little. Today I didnt take it because I wanted to see if i could tell a difference, and this is the happiest ive been sober in a long while. I guess this stuff works differently for different people.
