I’ll cut to the chase. I tried 2 100mg capsules of 5-HTP tonight (which is supposedly a precursor of serotonin or something along those lines) and thought I would share my experience.

So far, there has been a tangible shift from complete apathy and despair to “I’m actually not feeling too bad!”. It isn’t psychoactive like THC or caffeine, it just feels how I assume an antidepressant feels.

Anyway, if anyone is in current crisis like I was, just know you can do a quick Uber Eats order and hopefully gain some new medium of relief. Cost was about $11 for the bottle of 30.
