Natrol 5-HTP 200 mg Time Release, Helps Support a Balanced Mood, 30 Tablets

EDITED: 10/31/16 To everyone who this did NOT work for. It's important to know that this is best taken with L-Theanine and caffeine either coffee or green tea is best. The Caffiene is like the super highway for the 5htp to get to work on ur neurons for mood/anxiety.Granted EVERYONES chemical makeup is different but I'm on week 9 and can't be happier!) OK, as to not make this an extremely long review. Who am I kidding, it's gonna be a long one. However, I will try to spare you the gory details (well maybe) lol and tell you that, This 5-HTP by Natrol has literally saved my life or the life of my brain/nervous system! No exaggeration! I've always had mild depression with bouts of more moderate like most Americans I believe. However, over the coarse of 10 yrs my Anxiety had been getting progressively worse. My anxiety got to the point to where I could not function like a normal human being. It's like this weight that would not go away. A tick sucking the life out of me. To where I started not being able to leave my home. Remember when I said I would spare you the gory details?? Well, click away if u must NOW! WARNING!!! TMI!!! Ok, so that debilitating anxiety I started to experience about 2 yrs ago, began with the feeling of being completely overwhelmed then that turned into brain fog, absent minded, not being able to focus on a single task. Then it progressed into total nervous system malfunction. Anxiety would come on so strong at the slight mention of me having to attend lunch with friends,meetings, going to the grocery store, and or driving more than 10 miles in any direction from my home. I can tell u and here's the TMI part that I knew where every bathroom in a 10 mile radius from my home was because my anxiety would hit at any given time like a bomb (no pun intended) and immediately my limbs would start to go numb, my head would get foggy, I would get either hot or cold and get diarrhea. I couldn't leave the house without using the bathroom several times. I began taking Imodium on a regular basis. It was HORRIBLE and totally out of control. I'm a single mom to two children one of which is special needs and I literally had to plan everything around my anxiety. Like a friend would say lets go out and just the mere thought would get me buggy but then the day of I ofcourse would get sick-8times out of 10 having to cancel. If I HAD to go out, I could only by taking 2 Imodium pills and a shot of liquid. I would still b so nervous, jetting through the grocery store throwing things in my cart like I was in a race. Driving home well, stopping atleast once to use restroom. But as soon as I would enter my community my anxiety would drop and I would cross the threshold of my front door and the toad would jump out of my throat and I could breath again. I felt I'm home so im safe. I actually started to get groceries delivered. It WAS BAD!!! Needless to say I wasn't living, I was just existing. Anxiety had totally taken over my life. So, in fear of becoming a total recluse and sick of being sick I realized this visitor named "anxiety" had to go. They stayed long enough and I made it my mission to kick its u know what out!!! My sister knew a friend going through a hard time and recommended 5-HTP. She claimed it saved her from her bad anxiety. I was a pure skeptic. I thought life without all these debilitating symptoms??? Minimal to NO anxiety being able to focus,function and not be in my bathroom more then 10 times a day. WAIT! WHAT? U mean I can beat this naturally?? NO WAY!!! And did I mention I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2005??? Oi Vey-This is too much. I was getting anxiety about not having anxiety! I thought this must be like those old-timey snake oil treatments. Natural but not effective. I thought for sure I would need a DR. And serious meds... But my sis said before you go that route (which I'm sure has helped many, and I'm not knocking it in anyway) try this first. Boy am I soooo thankful I did. I can't express in words how this 5-HTP (time release) paired with another supplement recommended to me has saved my LIFE. It sound dramatic I know but honestly I LOST about 2.5 yrs of my life due to anxiety. I lost some friends and strained family relationships but what hurts most of all I was not the best mother to my two beautiful kids during that time. Everything revolved around my anxiety and being sick all the time. So, six weeks into taking these pills I feel like my old self again. Heck, better them my old self. Actually, I felt a difference the very first day. Anxiety now is like a thing of the past. Truly! In 6 weeks I've had mild anxiety about twice and was able to ride through it. I don't know how or why and I don't care this has saved my LIFE! It is pure magic in a bottle. So along with these pills, one other supplement,essential oils and meditation I feel in total control again and excited about the future I used to fear. PLEASE PLEASE! If this remotely sounds like u or anxiety has being stealing from you. Stop it! Make a decision that you deserve better and you can have it. Make a choice that misery is not good enough and that your tired of "existing" and u want to "live". Take the wheel in ur life as opposed to being a back seat driver. Try 5-HTP time release. Make sure it's time released... I wish I could scream it from a mountain. Thank you so much Natrol. You have no idea what you have done for me and my family. Please AMAZON don't stop selling this. It's worth it's weight in gold...I'm a believer and will NOT stray from this brand EVER! I can not go one day without this. Peace to all who are seeking natural help. Look no further...

This has literally changed my life for the better. It completely eradicated PMDD and anxiety. I feel energized for the first time in years. I cannot believe it works this well. I really noticed a difference by the second week. Been taking it faithfully every morning for the past month and it has absolutely changed my life. My fiance is amazed and started taking it too.

Helps with mood and motivation. Works for 10-12 hours. Not compatible with certain foods and other supplements, and generally not used long term. Does work well, though it may take a few days to notice the difference. It's not really a noticeable effect, but a very light effect that makes a big difference. This particular brand, Natrol, was the best tolerated of the ones I tried.

Works well, but I do not like taking the tablet form. Do Not take this with antidepressants, Tylenol or other prescription migraine medicines. This is probably the worst over the counter drug, to have a Drug Interaction with other drugs. One syndrome Can Be Fatal. Check online at drugs.com for the list.

I’ve been taking 5-HTP consistentlyone capsule a day for five years. And when I say consistently, I mean every single day. I originally started taking it to help with sleep, which I’ve struggled with long term. Over time, I noticed my mood felt more balanced, but the biggest change was something I didn’t expect at all. I completely lost my desire for alcohol. Not reduced gone. No cravings, no interest, and even a level of repulsion. I don’t enjoy the smell, the taste, or even the idea of it anymore. That shift wasn’t intentional, so I didn’t connect it right away. But when I looked back, the timing lines up closely with when I started taking this. Now, I can’t say this is the cause. Life changes, mindset, and personal decisions all play a role. But I also haven’t seen many reviews from people who have taken this daily for years, so I felt like sharing my experience. What I will say is this: consistency matters. Most people won’t take anything long enough to really see what it does over time. I have, and this has become a permanent part of my routine like a daily maintenance supplement I don’t plan on stopping. I don’t know how it will affect anyone else. I only know what it’s done for me

I have (or used to have) my depressing days before this. I've had it for weeks now. And I am so relieved that it does what it says. No more depressing thoughts or feelings. Every once in a while I will get moody but they are very rare now. It came fast to me since I do have AmazonPrime. No this isn't sponsored, or given to me for free in exchange for a review. I bought this with my own money in hope to feel like a normal happy being. You know how you go through countless of reviews on hopes that they are true and you finally found a good product for whatever you want it to work for? Well this is it. I want you guys to know that my review is genuine it really is. There is no ulterior motive whatsoever. I will be buying again it just works so good for me especially with that price. I also recommend working out in the mornings for a even more healthy satisfactional happy day. It has been proven scientifically that working out makes you happy 😊 and yes yoga and Pilates is in that. Also have green tea it helps me relax and feel soothed. Ok so this product arrived in perfect conditions. Very well sealed in its box. Also the bottle was well sealed stuffed with cotton on the inside and the lid was in its place so you don't have to worry about tampering. The instructions to taking this product is one pill per day at nighttime before you go to bed after having had dinner or something to eat. You swallow the pill with water drink 6 to 8 ounces of water. That's it nothing complicated. And one pill is enough for me because it does work. My appetite still feels the same I mean these kind of anti depressant pills have a bad reputation for making someone gain weight but I'm not exactly stuffing my face in 5 cinnamon rolls. I still take care of myself and everything. If it work for me I would definitely recommend you to go ahead and try it. You have absolutely nothing to lose except for another day being depressed.

They crack when you put them in a pill box. At first, I thought that I just had a bad one, but they were all like that. They’re fine when I put them in the pill box and then cracked by the time I take them and I’m sure it affects the time release.

Seems to work. Can yell difference when not used.

Quickly received, original package. Value for money. Thank you!

Works gravest.

The product is genuine and the ingredians seem to be working. If you consistently take it then only you will see the difference. The price is a bit high so its not everyone's cup of tea.
