5-HTP, depression, and test-e

[teteak]

I am just starting a 10 week 500mg/week test-e cycle with a 4 week 30mg/day dbol kickstart. I have been taking 5-HTP for depression @ 150 mg/day for a few months, basically after my last cycle of epi. I know testosterone and serotonin levels correlate somewhat, and I can vouch for the sense of well-being on cycle, but I was wondering if anybody has taken 5-HTP on cycle for depression? I am considering going off it for the duration of the cycle and then restarting again during PCT to help the blues that usually appear around then. Anybody have any thoughts?

i took 5htp to regulate my sleep cycle and cut down on the aggression i was getting from the anabolics. but as you said it does increase serotonin and i feel it is useful on and off cycle. however, i only recommend the time release tablet. the regular pill does not work as well. so pick up some time release and try that. in addition im sure you know it suppresses appetite so remember to eat!
