5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) for Fibromyalgia: Helps a ton with energy and focus. Helps a little with pain and stiffness.

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) for Insomnia: It works very well with my Ambien pills which have almost stopped working but can't sleep without (sounds familiar to chronic insomniacs I guess). I fall asleep amazingly fast (faster than at any time in my life) and I sleep up to 8 hours which I had forgotten about even on Ambien! I take only 50mg in late afternoon with food because I have a sensitive stomach. I wish I had tried this before.

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) for Anxiety: I found that this medicine wasn't really that helpful.
