"5-HTP has made all the difference in my life. I have suffered with debilitating menstrual migraines for years, also PMT/depression. This wonderful natural drug takes the edge off it massively and enables me to function much more normally. I take 200 mg at night about a week before my period when I feel my head/mood change. About a week after my period, when I typically start to feel more normal, I reduce to 100 mg. Unfortunately, I can't manage without it now, but it has no side effects, so I am extremely thankful for it - it has literally saved my life."
