Answers:
5-HTP will make you sleepy, but don't take it!. It's not good for you, it can turn to quinolinic acid!. You're way better off with something like Valerian root or even magnesium to relax you!. Also, don't take isolated amino acids like tyrosine!. Not a good idea either!. You should get a naturopath like me who can help you find out what's good to take!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

5-HTP is commonly used for stress relief, but it mainly helps as a relaxant (which can make people feel sleepy)!. If you got tired from it and didn't know it would help relax you, that's not a placebo effect, that's an intended effect!. Placebo is when you take something because you believe it will have a desired effect (even though it doesn't), then you get that desired effect because your brain gives you the impact that you wanted (as opposed to the product doing it)!.

I would advise against just randomly taking things that you don't know what they do!.!.!. there are many drugs and supplements out there that interact poorly and can cause problems!. It would suck to have to go to the ER and have to tell the doctor you were just randomly taking pills!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
