Originally posted by jchung52 we could probably argue this all day but all my research has told me that 5htp is a precursor to serotonin. thus by taking 5htp, you will produce/promote growth of serotonin. Ive always wondered though whether theyre really 5htp or some other junk. esp when buying from some health food store. there are no government regulations on stuff like this

If taken a week to two weeks ahead of time, it will slowly build up more serotonin in your hypthalamus. Thus, when you dose, it dumps a larger amount of serotonin into your bloodstream - giving you a harder or higher roll.

However, it does not work if taken the day before partying, etc - it has to be used over time. As an afterwards medication it will, over time, help speed up your serotonin reproduction which helps limit the sketch factor.

All in all, if I know I'm going out for the weekend, a week ahead of time, I will take 5=HTP but the day before it is useless.

From what I have seen, most 5HTP sold in stores is legit. And it has worked - there is a difference with and without build up.

if everyone is delving into the "illegal" stuff as it is, it doesn't hurt to pop a perc or two the next evening. They put you to sleep pretty easily I find. Watch it though, they're addictive. Some guy in London robbed a Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy with a crossbow a few weeks ago looking for percs....

Not at all true. The Canadian gov't keeps a very close eye on the types/quality of supplements sold in Canada. The States on the other hand is quite another story.

(scroll down the page a bit for existing and future gov't regulations)

With that said, this thread is filled with misinformation on many levels. Educated yourself people. Everything you ingest/inhale/inject alters your bodies biochemistry/anatomy, often times permanently to some degree.

You may feel invincible now, but when your neurotransmitters/brain receptors/liver/kidneys are depleted/burned out by the time your 45 you're going to have some serious issues.

i only say that because my uncle was prescribed these 'energy' pills. at first they worked well but over 3 months, he started feeling moody and depressed. he went to get the pills checked out and they turned out to be anti-depressants...

He was given the wrong prescription??? That has nothing to do with a health food store and the quality of supplements that they sell.

If you meant he was suggested these by someone in a health food store and the product contained anti-depressants, I doubt a product manufactured in Canada would contain any anti-depressants. If this is the case, you've got a valid case for a law suit on many levels (i.e. store owner, importer of illegal product, manufacturer of product).

Again....this all boils down to educating yourself about what you are putting into your body.

Binge and O.D. , It helps

Shower, I don't know if its mental or physical effect, but I'm sure it helps wash away the toxins from your skin and opens up your pores, then a hearty soup, the chicken noodle soup from Swiss Chalet is my fav. I find that as long as you are able to have a few decent meals during the day, the sketch goes down considerably. Fruit alone won't do it, you need something more substantial, that's why a good soup is the answer, gives you the fluids and the nutrition you need.

good point, 5htp needs time to act as a precursor, usually 3-4 days before you know you're gonna roll is sufficient enough time...and it is definately a harder roll

as for sketch factor the next day? lots of water/gatorade, vitamins and a massage

ps: do any of you blaze when you're rolling? and if so, what are you comments on it? i've noticed that if i dont feel the mdma after 40 min i'll take a hit or 2 and that will get me going GOOD...

Any time I smoked pot while on pills, it made me feel like I was on mushrooms.
