5 HTP in Ibiza

Mitsumadness said:
doesnt anyone know of anywhere in San An that sells 5 HTP just in case one of our group runs out while were there??

Err I don't know, I should imagine they would sell something similar but prob best to stock up with loads before you go ;)

It's the kind of thing if you ask in chemist/health shop for them it might get lost in translation ;)
 
Me and the missus thought that although it helped us sleep, it gave us distastful dreams 8O

Then again that could have been down to our excesses!
 
Actually we tried 5HTP for the first time last weekend, and it worked a treat, although i have had outrageous dreams in the past couple of night's sleep 8O :oops: :lol:

note to self: take more!!!

Could it all be connected?

I find it's the excessive caning that gives me the mad dreams, 5HTP stops them and I get a much better nights sleep.
 
Well maybe it was just coincidence cos there'd been no excessive caning going on, a bit but not excessive! Thanks Babs for the 5HTP tip anyways, will be stocking up in time for Global Goblin and then Ibiza this weekend! Can't do a sledging comedown on a flight!

5HTP In Ibiza

5HTP is a seratonin production enhancer derived from a plant called Griffona. It is literally L-Tryptophan, the immediate precursor to Seratonin (hence the term 5HT which is the chemical symbol for seratonin). Anyway, if you are going to use it, here is what you should expect/do:
1. Always take it with a vitamin B12, without vitamin B it is much less effective as it will not boost 5HT production w/o vitamin B12.
2. Preload and postload, take up to 500mg/day over 48 hours pre and post. Always take it in smaller, 100mg batches. Mix with OJ, just empty the caps into liquid and stir.
3. Taking 2 after a hard night of partying will do nothing, can you say "placebo effect"?
4. Always add other goodies such as vitamin C, multi-vit and eat. Vitamins are not a substitute for eating.
5. Partying hard 2 nights in a row will trash you hard, don't do it.
6. Remember, it takes about 7 days to get back to baseline.
7. Use common sense and don't mix anything with alcohol or other things.

I hardly abide by any of those 'rules' and I've never had a comedown in my life :?

But I take it before I go to sleep say on a Sunday night, it's got something in it that aids sleep as well, then wake up bright and breezy on a Monday morning :D
