Lethargy and 5-HTP...

[tunnelrat]

I take 100mg of 5-HTP every night as a sleep aid. It works very well, but sometimes the next day I feel pretty lethargic. What's the half-life of this stuff. Would l-tyro dosed first thing in the morning help?

I used to do the same thing and always felt sluggish. I'd end up taking a mucuna in the morning and in 15 minutes I pepped back up. I stopped taking the 5-htp because it did tend to make me lazy and I didn't feel like I should take something I had to counteract.
