Hi,
anyone knows where to get 5-htp (5 hydroxy-l-trytophan)in Belguim and what it is pronounced like and how much is costs? I went to a drug store and they never heard of it so I guess he just didnt knew or it is otherwise pronounced in Dutch. Who's goint to I love techno this weekend ? :toocool: |

be best buyin online. ne chemist sellin the stuff would prob know it's use.
Other than supplying all the necessary resources to produse serotonin does it serve any other purpose?? |
yes. some people use it as an herbal supplement to treat depression. |

well, i guess it could create an amplified feeling of wellbeing if u had lots of the stuff??
might get some actually.. but i'm goin off pills for about 2-3 months so i'll wait t'il then.
although i'd never do this, would this work:
ok, u cant go out on pills very often, as after 1 night it's just !
if u were to pre / post load with 5-HTP could u have enough serotonin / seratonin (not sure..)..
i'd never do this, but would it work?? |

yes, in fact that is very common here. most people take it before they take pills. some right after. after a night of partying you will sleep very soundly if you end the night with 5-htp.
also, you dont need to wait to stop taking pills if you want to take it as a daily supplement. it counteracts the effects of the pills which is a good thing.
5-htp combats depression because it aids in the release of seratonin. i think. it doesnt work the same way as e but i cant remember the exact mechanism. i am not 100% sure it is safe but i think it has to be safer than e. |

| xtc uses serotonin, 5-htp makes serotonin. If you don't take too much 5htp, I don't think it is dangerous. I want to take it because I have sleep / eat problems the day after. Thx for the link Dave, only problem is it is in America so shipping will cost probably more than the pills. Any Dutchman/Belgian who are doing pre/post loads? |

taking it for parties will be fine. taking it every day is questionable since it is not really understood over long term.
search on google for international retailers. |

xtc doesn't "use" seratonin, it depletes the supply of seratonin, whereas 5-htp then resupplies it...
instead of regularly popping pills of 5-htp, you're better off eating lots of bannanas, the effect is the same... |
