Reply to Jill about depression

[Guest guest]

Hi Jill. I did take 5-HTP for about a 6-month period of time last summer

into the winter. I did not take it actually for depression...but instead

for the amount of pain I was experiencing in hips, elbows, neck, etc. I

noticed an almost IMMEDIATE relief of the pain and felt much more relaxed

and more at ease...slept better, etc.

The effects began to wear off about about six months. My wonderful doctor

recommended that I seriously consider prozac...which I did...and am

currently on Prozac...NOT for depression...but to help with the discomfort.

Found out, by the way, that the discomfort that I was feeling was all due to

the MS...just was diagnosed one month ago.

Good luck. 5-HTP is ABSOLUTELY worth a try. I got mine at WalMart...about

half of what it cost at the health food store and exactly the same thing.

HELP!! I have been on LDN for approximately coming up

on 1 year....At first I was like a totally different

person.......then my neuro and I upped my LDN to

3.5mgs this is where I have been for about 6 mos. I

live in Texas so it is very hot and humid.....the last

couple weeks I can hardly get out of bed.....Am I

doing something wrong..........I take my LDN after

9:00pm my thigh muscles at times when I stand up, feel

like they're rippping.......I stay cool in my house,

but I am also getting hot flashes...no spring chicken

here. My dr's answer to any of my questions is lets

just kick it up another 50mgs. I started out on 2.5

and gradually worked up to 3.5. I know LDN is NO

CURE; but I feel like ALL forward progress has

regressed in the last month. Could you give me some

info to pass on to my doc.....I see him this

wednesday......Thankx
