I take this at night before bed. I'm 47, body changing "hormones" like going into menopause, not there yet but on the way, which affects sleep and mood. HTP calm and will give you better mood, more positve outlook and less food cravings the next day but will also help you sleep better,(not put you to sleep)also adding Melatonin for better sleep. And Emerita Pro-Gest, (natural progesterone cream)helps balance hormones. The herbs in this 5 htp helps more than taking straight 5 htp, I am now trying. I like HTP Calm better.

I take this when I am feeling stressed, like when I am working full time and school finals are a week away. It really helps me stay calm, relaxed, and helps me sleep better. I usually take 2 in the morning and 2 at night. I don't take HTP.Calm all the time, but when I want to lower my stress level so I don't lower my immune system, I will take this, and it works for me.

A few months ago, I was going through a stressful time in my life. At the same time, I realized that I have bad reactions to Paxil, so I was withdrawing off the drug. HTP.Calm was a lifesaver. I researched various natural products and was impressed by its reviews, and became even more impressed upon taking it. It has the best combination of natural herbs to ward off depression and anxiety at a very reasonable price, and much cheaper than buying the herbs seperately.

I like to take 1 capsule daily with an additional 300 mg of St. Johns Wort, and then increase the dose when I feel the need. I only wish that the dosage of each herb was listed, because I have considered taking Passion Flower seperately for anxiety but I like to know dosage to figure out to what degree a supplement affects me.

I was quitting smoking and needed to stabilize my mood. Works pretty well, at least when giving up marijuana to keep mood stable and elevated. Also suggest exercise and good food to assist in a detox situation.

I've had experience with Zoloft and other meds going back 10 years or more, never took them long term because I didn't like the SSRI side effects and MJ smoking used to help calm down my stress, but became a negative after long-term steady use...

5-HTP + St. John's Wort = good healthy stuff.

These were prescribed by my naturopathic friend, and work wonders... as my kids and fiancee call them they are my happy pills, these actually help cope with the day to day stress without getting out of center. Even my PMS mood swings are gone!
