Date:January 26, 2011

"Good with melatonin when you need to get to sleep. As I have gotten older, sleep has become more illusive. With the combination of the 50 mg and 9 mg of melatonin, I get sleepy and can rest for the night."

Title:5-htp Gave Me Problems

Date:November 4, 2010

"Over the past 15 or more years I have tried just about everything out there for my mood health. Unfortunately, 5-htp, like the Sam-e I previously tried, made me grouchy and jittery.

For the past month I've been taking St. John's Wort, and FINALLY, I've found something that WORKS for me. It took about 3 weeks of gradually increasing the dose, but now, taking one 250 mg capsule of St. John's Wort in the morning, and two capsules at night, I feel by far the best I have felt in years. I know some people who do great on 5-htp, so it may work for you. I'm just glad I didn't give up trying different things, until I finally found something that works. You can do that with Swanson, and not worry about "wasting money," thanks to their satisfaction guarantee!"

Title:makes you too nauseous

Date:April 20, 2010

"I followed the directions EXACTLY! It says to take on a empty stomach, I did. It was like being punched in the stomach. I wanted to try this so bad I also tried it a second time in hopes I could at least give it a try for it to work but the same thing happened.

I really wish I could have at least tested to see if the pills worked.

I am SO DISAPOINTED!!"
