Research shows that when HTP was added to Prozac, it increased its effectiveness in massive amounts. 5-HTP has been used in Europe for decades as a natural antidepressant. That being said, NEVER combine multiple agents that act as serotonin reuptake inhibitors without professional opinion of your physician or naturopathic expert. Also, your "major put off", I would suggest taking a look at the book, The Mood Cure, which will provide a questionnaire so you can identify which brain chemicals you need assistance in, as serotonin may not be the only one (which HTP affects). Hope this helps. Research shows that when HTP was added to Prozac, it increased its effectiveness in massive amounts. 5-HTP has been used in Europe for decades as a natural antidepressant.

Do not take with Prozac. They can interact badly. Wellbutrin (bupropion) might be okay, but check with your doctor.

i believe so due to the fact that it keeps you from getting so stressed, and keeps you alot calmer. my husband takes this and he had an excellent medical exam last month. would not quit taking any meds if you are on them, though without dr's ok! good luck

The whole point of this device is to insure that medications are available at regularly scheduled times and only at those regularly scheduled times. This reduces the likelihood of an overdose by a person whose faculties may be less than optimal. PRN implies that the person is capable of making a rational decision about need and acting appropriately. MedReady is probably not the best device for dispensing "as needed" medications.

ProZac, yes this is the same device i have and it works like a charm!! Just make sure you adjust the sliders a little to the left first. They are able to be adjusted as part of the device, not a rig. Also, make sure you start with the clamps open each time then squeeze them together to make it hold. The quality of sound is phenomenal too! Enjoy it!

I would stop my antidepression meds.& at the same time start a2x . 2a2x first thing in morning for to weeks & if needed for 4 weeks,then take1 a day from then on ,but if you feel you need another 1 later in the day then take another on and on. It works that way for my husband, we keep 3 mo. Supply on hand.

It depends what you are taking.. I would say not, however, write down the ingredients listed and ask a Pharmacist. They can often tell you more about meds than a doctor can.

I have used Adderall for a brief time. it was effective, though I didn't want to abuse it or become dependent on it. I would recommend to use it to study however given the intense need to focus. this 'true focus' stuff does help Indeed, add a caffine cocktail of your choice like iced coffee (my preferred drink) or an herbal caffine supplement and It will work. i'd say 100mg up to 200mg tablet. before getting a prescription that is for Adderall.

Am not sure about x-peak, but if you are referring to what brought about the ems crisis, according to what I read it wasn't just tryptophan contaminants as much as tryptophan itself which even when pure produces harmful metabolites, and also raises systematic histamin levels to a very bad level , so much that it can initiate ems syndrome. .. 5htp is a step up from tryptophan, and add far as i know, I don't think it has that effect. .. That being said however, take caution with 5htp since it has thepotential to cause heart valve fibrosis when at high levels. . Other than that I can only day that 5htp was a key supplement when taken for a month at repeated low daily doses in completely taking out my depression. .. But if you wish to use it for that pls do your own research on what to take it with and what not to take it with, for how long, and at what times. . And according to how it unfolds to you.. Just some notes to help: Sometimes you may need to incorporate tyrosin with 5htp therapy. . Depression can be caused from more than one thing ( physical or mental stress, diet, too much junk food, cellular stress, b deficiency, zinc, selenium, magnesium, lack of omega 3s, drug use.. And so on.. The point is that if you are trying to treat a low mood problem, which I don't know if you are, the key is first good diet with protiens and good complex carbs, excercise and move on to the rest, you know what your doing right or wrong best. Off topic but I found mr. Happy stacks (uridine, omega 3, and choline to be a good stabilizers).. Again what works for one might not work for the other, but I just thought it would be helpful to throw around my thoughts. . But I recommend you look into uridine if you have a low motivation problem, since it upregulates dopamine receptors. . Sorry if this is long and boring, and not what you were looking for. Good luck and stay healthy!

Why don't you call a couple of pharmacists and ask them? Also go to the OcuSoft website and ask them what they think directly. I've corresponded with them about things and they are really helpful.

My Dr. put me on 2 per day. I take one with my breakfast and one with my lunch or dinner. I have no problem taking it this way with my other pills. They are so easy to swallow also.

Have no idea...but, there are some warnings on the net about taking this with other medications or conditions. My husband can't take it so I tried to get my "moneyback guarantee"....no such luck. Unless you buy directly from them and not through Amazon, no guarantee. BAD company in my opinion.

I have to take 2 at a time to get any noticeable relief from Anxiety. I weight about 145 pounds so two takes the edge off as good as the Rx anxiety med I was prescribed. Depending on your weight you could probably up that dose.

No, the 20-mg tablets are not scored. In the past, we have successfully used a simple pill cutter. I have not tried it with this pill (because I have no need to do so) but it might be worth a try. If it is a problem, you might see if they have one in a mg-dose that fits your need without breaking or cutting them. The product works beautifully for me, and I highly recommend it for effectiveness and savings.

500mg each. I typically only need 1. Remember these tips for use. This is a protein precursor so you will not show much affect if you have eaten protein recently. Eat dinner a few hours before bed, and take the Tryptophan about 30 minutes before you need to sleep. This like all amino acids function much better when you add a B-Vitamin complex to it as a transport mechanism.

Yes it does. My mother was taking her meds, then forgetting she took them, take them again. It is wonderful!!!

I'm glad I read this question and everyone's answers before buying this! St Johns Wort has a potentially life threatening interaction with TWO prescription medications I take!

They recommend one tablet per day. I personally follow the dosage in Global Healing Center's NeuroFuzion product, which is 625 mg or 5 tablets which helps with mood
