I am curious to know how many of you have tried 5-HTP and how it worked for you. There is a study that reported 80% of PWFMS had relief from their pain. For me, it did not relieve my pain but it relieves depression! The dose in the study was 100 mg three times per day. 5-HTP is a precursor of serotonin. It is readily available from Health Food Stores in the US. I don't know about its availability in other countries. If anyone wants to try it but does not know where to get it, send me e-mail and I will provide information.
