Post Body

I am a 34 years old guy dealing with mild depression, insomnia, low T, and PE for a couple of years.

I tried SSRI before only for a very short period and stopped because of the side effects (I smoke weed once a week and I found it helpful for my depression)

I heard about 5htp and started taking 100mg. First night I slept very well and went to REM with lucid dreams. The day after I was feeling very good and focused. But when I took the second 100mg the next night everything changed. Could not sleep at all for 2 days after that, feeling very weird and had a brain fog. And I felt a pain in my heart. I had a very scary and terrible experience.

Am I doing something wrong? Is 100mg per night too much? Any advice on how to use 5htp?
