Return to Index   5-HTP June 18 2004 at 8:54 AM No score for this post fandango  (Login fandango99)   Hi, I've been watching this forum a few months and have been happy with the amount of information you have provided here. I've been suffering from PMS and PMDD since I was 15, and it has gotten much worse over the years. I stopped drinking coffee 1 year ago, have been tracking my moods for the past 4 months, try to eat healthy and exercise, and am trying to implement some of the other suggestions made on this board. I decided to try 5-HTP for now. I've taken it twice - once last month before bedtime (I spent a week humming and hawing over whether to take it or not, so that after the 1st try my cycle was over), and then once last night after I got home from work. As usual when I'm PMDD-ing, I dreamt all night long, as I did the night before. I understand that dreaming all night long causes a depletion of seratonin in the brain, and I noticed a correlation between my cycle, depression and amount of dreaming. I will continue taking the 5-HTP, but am wondering when is the best time to take it? In the morning or before bedtime? Thank you for providing a place we can come to.      This message has been edited by fandango99 on Jun 18, 2004 11:13 AM   Scoring disabled. You must be logged in to score posts.
