5-hydroxytryptophan "I took 5-HTP for about 10 years and it kept my fibromyalgia pain in control enough that I could work 40 to 60 hours a week again without discomfort. Unfortunately, my family doctor had me stop taking it when my blood pressure became dangerously high. I would recommend you try it, but keep a close watch on your blood pressure."

"5-HTP is a really effective, all-natural supplement for combatting symptoms of fibromyalgia - among many other things. It naturally increases serotonin levels, which help with sleep quality, pain reduction, and depression."

"I've been taking 200 mg a day for the past 2 weeks. I definitely can tell a difference in my mood. It has seemed to help my pain some but not completely. I do sleep better, but I find myself going into these deep pockets of sleep, then wake up, then drift back, and some of the dreams are pretty vivid. I'll continue taking this, it couldn't hurt. I just don't want to take any of the other RX drugs on the market because of the side effects."

"100 mg of 5-HTP has been very effective for my insomnia and fibro. I combine it with an edible of THC/melatonin. I have been doing this for 4 months and feel much better. It's not the magic bullet but better than prescription drugs. I was taking Norco and Valium."
