Review on ๐Ÿ’Š NOW Supplements 5-HTP 50 mg - Neurotransmitter Support in 180 Veg Capsules by Laura Bates

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible side effects!

My doctor switched me to this medicine made from St. John's wort because of the many possible contraindications. 5 HTP has been good after an adjustment period where I was quite moody at times. However, after about a month I started to tire really occasionally and intensely; I woke up and started my day with energy, and then sometimes it was like I flipped a switch and there was no energy left in my body and brain. I took my 100mg dose of 5HTP with breakfast so it seems like it happened while my body was digesting the supplement. time in the morning. After I started experiencing shortness of breath, brain fog, palpitations, cyanosis of fingers and my heart became less efficient at pumping blood, I woke up and decided to do more research on this drug. I've been taking 5HTP for two months. I was healthy, just turned 29 years old. After two months of taking the 100mg dose, I developed signs of HEART FAILURE. I am 29 years old. Luckily I've only been drug free for a few days and already feeling better. Also, as a side note - the entire time I've been using 5HTP I've only had acne on my cheeks; an area connected to your circulatory system. That also looks better. PLEASE be careful and take care of your body when choosing this medicine. I'm sure if I hadn't stopped in time I would have had a heart attack long before my 30th birthday.
