Hello everyone 😊

I have recently come off of amitriptyline 10mg(5mths for sleep) because I had bad side effects. My naturopath put me on 200mg of 5 htp a night. It helps me sleep but in the morning I wake up feeling nauseous for a bit. Could this be due to the 200mg of 5HTP every night?

Thanks everyone for your help 😊

    HI Tiffany , 5 htp sometimes makes you feel nauseous, have you tried Melatonin, I sometimes have problems falling asleep and I was taking imipramine to help but stopped taking it ,and found that Melatonin has helped me ,  there is also other herbs that work and do not have side  effects, hope this helps you .
