It is not an instant type of thing. What are you trying to use it for? Many people take it for a week before they plan on doing some kind of drug to "load up" so they can get a stronger high. It is supposed to stimulate the body's natural ability to produce serotonin.
I use it when my insomnia gets too bad. I lose weight while I'm taking it since it seems to reduce my appetite. Then again, smoking buds does the same thing for me, so that aspect might be a person to person thing.

It's a precursor to serotonin. I used to take it regularly, I would reccomend doing so at night 30 mins before bed in 2-3 week increments. It is beneficial to the regularity of your sleep schedule, the quality of sleep you are able to achieve when you are asleep, and your mood in the waking hours of the day. I also used to take it when I was a regular raverific roller pants mcthizzballs, during recovery from E use.

Again, 5-HTP is a precursor to natural serotonin (a.k.a. 5-HT) production in the brain. Use 5-HTP during the lead up to and after the roll (preload/recovery). I have been very strongly cautioned to break between 5-HTP and MDMA.
Taking MDMA WHILE on a regimen of 5-htp is considered dangerous with the possible outcome of serotonin syndrome .

I used to take it when I was younger. You're really not supposed to take it for extended periods of time (up to two months)- melatonin being a hormone and all.
If you're having difficulty sleeping to the point of requiring melatonin for longer periods than that, consider seeking the help of a health care professional. There may be other, and better, methods to treat intermittent insomnia in your particular case. There is also the possibility that having this much difficulty sleeping can be indicative of a more serious sleep or health issue.
Or just smoke that buddha

I don't know the science.
I do know it took away every ounce of hesitation I have about doing any MDMA/analogue of it. As long as I have that shit, there isn't a single negative to the experience.

Why should that mean it isn't real?

5htp takes the comedown out of rolling. Like 100%.
I take one before and one the morning after. Absolutely no bad vibes. Usually the comedown kills any ambition I have to roll.
