Has anyone here ever taken the supplement 5-HTP for depression? I've read that it's supposed to help, but when I've taken it my results have been kind of mixed. Back in late April I started taking it for the first time. I think I took it for about a month or two, and I noticed a slight improvement in mood at first which seemed to kind of taper off after awhile. It also really suppressed my appetite. I know that's one of the things it's meant to do, but I felt like it was almost TOO much, like I had to remind myself to eat because I just was never hungry.

Started taking it again a week or so ago and again am noticing a slight mood improvement, though nothing overly drastic. I've noticed a slight reduction in appetite as well, though not as much as before.

Anyone else have any experiences with this supplement?
