John,

Glad to hear about your positive results. This is an interesting development! I found this web site about 5-HTP(near the top of the google search): http://www.vanderbilt.edu/AnS/psychology/h...ology/5htp_myth.htm.

It would seem that "just being open and relaxed," as has often been suggested, is part of the key, and this may be helped by drugs.

Perhaps others on the list will comment about other drugs or herbs.
