    2 when you go to sleep on the night you're wrecked, two the following day and two the day after that used to sort me out, doesn't get rid of your saw jaw/tiredness/irritability though.

    replaces in your head what pills take out of you making you not feel depressed (if you get that from pills) the next day(s).

    It usually works for me. I think it works unless you've been a complete twat and necked a huge amount. But really, you've gotta be prepared to take the lows with the highs, haven't you?

    Take two capsules (50mg) approx four hours after dropping. Then don't take again until you're actually hungry (this will vary). If possible, take 90mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid day after pill taking. Will really help comedown and recovery. Also take multi-vitamin. For more info surf the e-dancesafe board., class American info

    Detoxification of free-radicals is what it's touted for, to make you feel more refreshed.

    But that's quack theory. I should know, I did one year of Chemistry at uni. With Peace Studies and Theatre Lighting Combined Honours. :D

    i'm sure you are meant to take them before you drop + eat stuff like banana's to keep seratonin, etc. levels up and give you a better high. your body also needs salt replenishment weirdly enough. turkey is also supposed to be good.

    5htp is also dangerous for the body in large doses and its recommended to it with grapefruit juice to provide amino acids to help seratonin pass the blood/brain barrier

    although not having taken pills i don't know how these things work 1st hand, this is just stuff i've been told off notorious druggies and what i've read myself. can you tell im bored.

    this thread on TA covers it quite well after you get past the first few posts: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=222822&highlight=5htp

    aye like you said it's supposed to give you a better high, but if you're taking them just to ease your comedown then you're wasting money doing that, im not sure exactly how early before you take pills you're supposed to have them but if you take them really close to/during actually taking pills (like more than a couple) then you could die or get seratonin syndrome (i think it is??) i read somewhere a long time ago.

    5HTP or better known as Serotone 5HTP isn't just for taking after a night out on the dancing beans, though I confess it does help. Bascially it increases serotonin levels in the body.

    Costs around £8-9 for a bottle of 30 tablets - worth every pennie IMO.

    I'd watch it doing it that close to dropping, I'm usually still peaking 4 hours into it. Generally people are going to do more than one pill and still be fucked four hours later. Four hours after coming down might be safer. Taking it on the same day as dropping also decreases the effects for some people.

    There is a lot of information on the net about serotonin syndrome from combining 5htp or other ssri's with pills and it wouldn't be a nice experience, with a comedown that could last for weeks. Same goes for St Johns Wart.

    Deffinitely read up on it if you're going to do 5htp e.t.c and order online because Holland and Barrets rip you right off.

    Because comedowns are shit I'd imagine.

    I don't get them personally. Winner.
