Had mood/sleep problems since 14 years old (16 years go), waking up more tired than the night before. Found Tryptophan (and 5htp), actually slept.

My guess is people with stress/gastro issues don't get the adequate serotonin for "normality"

Hardcore ravers used to pre/post-load on 5-HTP years ago.

TLDR;

1) Think Happy Thoughts. 2) Bright Light Exposure. 3) Exercise. 4) Tryptophan.

Isn't it ironic that the article is about increasing serotonin without using a drug, and the first reflex is to suggest a drug?

How are you taking it? A special diet or a pill?
