Going to Ibiza in 2 weeks. I have read previous threads talking about 5-HTP. Is it best to take when you get back after a messy night :roll: or the following day?
 
nope :? did you read all the other threds re 5htp properly. If you have a look through them, you'll get a lot better idea ;)
 
if anything it will make em better....im taking em for a week before i go....all while im there and for a week after.
 
how do you know or start to know when ur coming down? is it like 3 hours after each pill or just at the end of the night / next day?

er, when you stop feeling wasted! :D
 
I thought the 5-HTP made you sleep though.. thats what it says on the bottle I just bought. (well, makes you feel drowsy) don't want to be falling asleep at the club! :? .. and only take 2 a day?
what about those of you who are taking them before you go? just curious.. whats the reason for that?

If you look at the label on the bottle they normally contain valerian which is a natural sedative. This is what causes the sleepyness. Most people find however that its not strong enough to make them sleepy. Valerain is the main ingredient in tables such as Kalms which help to destress you.
 
I've started taking them before I go out as well as when I get home & when I wake up. They do definitely lessen the effect of the lil fellas slightly but it's worth it I think as I now get no comedown at all & more importantly, it must lessen the risk of long term damage :idea:

Not necessarily - the evidence is that a large dose of Vit C is the best to stop any long term damage as this helps to mop up damaging free radicals. Its worth it to help on the come downs though defintely.

Your other natural alternative though is foods containing natural tryptophan ie banana's and turkey are the best. :)
 
If your not willing to suffer the come down from a night of pilling it then you shouldn't take ecstasy :) personally, i love a good come down :D
