    Might find info in this site usful about long term effects of taking 5htp. It appears not much reasearch has been done on it and that its not that good to take it long term as you can build up a tolernce to it.

    WoW Thanx JGeeee !!! <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> I had absolutely no idea what 5HTP was until i had a look at the link you provided!!! I was hearing ppl all around this site talking about it and i had never heard of it. The link was really good and I'm also thinking of taking them, only thing is it says they are available over the counter...does this apply anywhere in the UK then? Any are they expensive?

    Thanx in advance for any answers !!! <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    They are available in health shops like Holland & Barrett, i think they are about £60 for 6 weeks supply <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> don't hold me to that though <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    just go in and there on the shelf,you dont even need to ask for it.
    a bottle cost £15 for 8 weeks worth based on 1 tablet a night or 4 weeks worth based on 2 tablets a night which is maximan you can take it says on the bottle. i feel much better than i used to and get a ten times better sleep!
