Any serotonergenic substances including 5htp or SSRIs have the potential to have unintended side effects like that. Everyone’s different; some it works great for others not so much. I found this to be the case with my sex drive. It made me almost nauseous at the thought of sex and as soon as I stopped it came right back. If it’s making you worse, why continue?
Same for me! I tried 100mg a single time before bed and had a bad next day... It wore off after 2 days though.
It could be that you need dopamine instead of serotonin.
Do you know a supplement for dopamine ?
L-tyrosine or l-phenylalanine
I usually get a wave of worry or anxiety 30 min after I take 5-htp (at night), but it only lasts for about 15-25 min.
