chill out. it takes a while for it to work. just stick with it. try st. johns wort too.
Ask her about using adaptogens such as eleuthero and ashwagandha and holy basil for the adrenals. The organs are okay, if it's working don't worry about me, but I'm a bit leery of using the organ of another animal -- organs store toxins, and they aren't human. Again, though, they do work for many people. Also ask about passionflower, valerian, kava -- all probably work better or in combination with theanine. Good luck, it's a journey.
hey thanks for the reply! my naturopath also has me on adrenal cortrex for my adrenals as she said i have severe adrenal 'burnout' as well as Anxiovita- a homeopathic tonic and L-theanine. going back to see her this week about switching up the 5-htp, and yes i stopped taking it about 4 days now and i am returning to normal :) i think im too sensitive to it.
