Does is work? Does it do what it claims to do?

For low mood / depression? I tried it for a few months and didn't find it did much. I had better results with 5-HTP although you need to get the right one because some formulas have other things in that you don't need such as Vitamin B6 or Valerian room (a sedative). Lamberts / Nature's Best (UK company) do one with just 5-HTP.

I have, it worked for me. When I used it I just found myself unable to switch off, I wasn't sleeping properly because of the thoughts buzzing around my head.

Funny enough I have been the same since last Friday, probably should get some now.

I've tried it but honestly couldn't say if it made a difference; if it does, it's more subtle than natural mood changes. But tbh I'm a big fan of the placebo effect and sometimes just feeling like you're doing something is very positive even if it actually does **** all.
