Afternoon everbody,
Im recovering from a 4 year stint of post viral fatigue, bought on by a series of flu like illnesses. My fatigue has gotten better over the years but I do have mild/moderate felings of guilt/sadness/anxiety and at times I have alot of difficulty with congnition & thinking.
After alot of experimentation with supplements Ive noticed that high doses of SAM-E (aprox 800-1000mg) and SJ's wort combined eliminate alot of the these symptoms and gave me massive amounts of mental energy - almost to the point of feeling normal at times (woot!)
As of last night I have added 5htp to the mix to improve my sleep quality but it is making me feel quite drowsy during the day, and I feel as if it may be negatively offsetting the restful alertness that I get from the samE + SJW
Could anyone suggest if these feelings of sleepiness are likely to continue? Does your body take time to adjust to 5htp? I am keen to try the 5htp as SamE is very very expensive. Has anyone taken 5htp and same at different times and preferred samE (or vice versa)
Any feedback would be bloody fantastic!
Aussie John:)

For me, the daytime drowsiness effects diminished but never totally went away. But IMHO, the ease and quality of sleep 5-HTP gives me is worth a little daytime drowsiness. Your mileage may vary.
Sam-e does very little for me. A cup of tea or coffee seems to do about the same thing. Glad to hear it's working for you tho, I never did try a really high dose. I'm on Wellbutrin and it's working nicely... in combination with 5-HTP it seems to work even better, in particular I sleep like a newborn baby.
