Review on 🌼 Ultra Serotonin Support: 200mg 5-HTP + Vitamin B6 & Hemp Oil - Natural Stress Relief, Mood Enhancement & Extended Sleep Aid by Doris Allen

BE CAREFUL WHEN TAKING THIS "VITAMIN"! This product caused me to have severe peripheral neuropathy and B6 toxicity within 3 weeks of taking it and my symptoms are still present a month after I stopped taking the product. My doctor says the SYMPTOMS MAY NOT be reversible and only time will tell. I caution anyone dealing with this product and/or ANY other SmarterVitamins product! Initially, I would vomit profusely within an hour of taking it, even with food. I have a bit of a sensitive stomach so I'm booking it that way even though I'll have stomach cramps for the rest of the day. Then I got dizzy and my hands started doing tasks backwards. I looked at my hands and tried to move them one way, but they moved the other way. I started dropping things a lot, then I noticed that my hips and pelvis were pulling in and my lower back was pushing outward. I started having problems with my balance and noticed that my legs only supported the weight of the body on one side; I tried to straighten my gait and started falling. My scalp was numb and tingling, and at the same time my cognitive abilities were terrible. But my mood was initially better, so much better that I completely ignored the fact that my other symptoms were getting worse. I googled this supplement and found that HTP really starts to work after a few weeks, so I kept taking it. Mood swings started after 2 weeks along with shortness of breath, profuse sweating, blurred vision and muscle stiffness. My symptoms mimicked multiple sclerosis and I even scheduled an MRI to see if a nerve was pinched in my neck or something. By week 3 my scalp and face were so numb but there was so much pressure and weight gain behind it that I shaved the back of my head for relief. Something I would NEVER do in my right mind. By week 3 I couldn't even get dressed without holding onto the dresser to keep from falling, but still my mind was so foggy and depressed I couldn't see it was HTP-5. I couldn't even tie my hair back in a ponytail or brush my teeth properly. I can't explain why I kept taking them carelessly, because I don't blindly accept such things and don't ignore negative symptoms, I'm actually quite a hypochondriac. It was like I had a lobotomy and I just kept taking my vitamins because "they improved my mood." Solutions. Now, a month later, my symptoms are getting better every day, but my hands still get numb when doing chores and I still stagger when I walk occasionally. I will still get an MRI but the way my symptoms improved immediately the day I stopped taking it leads me to believe it was the HTP and only the HTP. My learning has mostly returned, although I still struggle with profuse sweating and mood swings (which I didn't experience to this degree before HTP) and I'm hoping my body will heal itself over time. They give an insane amount of vitamin B6 and label it a daily supplement and then claim it's a complete food source, but it clearly is NOT. They also don't put warning labels on the bottle. HTP-5 can interact with myriad different supplements and drugs, and some interactions can be toxic or even fatal. Vitamin B6 is also highly toxic in certain concentrations, and HTP-5 makes your body more sensitive to B6. Oh I also had horrible skin lesions and cystic acne when I took this and it was gone a week after I stopped. Before this experience, I loved SmarterVitamins. I've been a strong supporter of their products and even sent a few bottles to friends and family to let them know there's finally a GOOD vitamin company that doesn't overload their products with fillers, synthetic additives, and false "whole food" claims. This experience changed my life so much that I refuse to ever take a SmarterVitamins product again.
