Another sleep post!

Hi there...me again about sleep! The bane of my life!
Before I buy/try yet another product to help with my insomnia (of years) I thought I'd ask any ladies for their experiences.
In a previous post, two ladies recommended using 5 htp, which I was a little scared of buying, but their advice has made me reconsider...
If anyone has used this product, I'd love to hear their opinion, please...
The powdered mg citrate doesn't seem to be making any difference to my sleep(
Thank you jx

I used to take Vit B complex 50mg (in the morning) but was told that taking higher was very dangerous?
So gave my body a break!
When you say high...how much please?

Can I ask the dosage of your B complex please? Mine was 50mg.
I, too, don't have coffee after midday and have tried many natural remedies plus good sleep hygeine!
Thought powdered mg (as opposed to the chelated I took) may be my saviour...but no!
Thank you jx

Thank you... Is this dosage in one pill and 100mg must be safe if a naturalist advised?

I'll look into it...see what I can find available in uk.
My only hesitation is...I read that taking very high Vit b's can lead to numbing and other side affects with continual use?
More researching!

I used 5htp, took one a day before bed and it really helped for a while but when I started getting dizzy and more anxious my GP put me on antidepressants Sertraline which helps with the anxiety,much better than I was but when I have a dizzy spell it flares up again, but I did find 5htp helpful,some people say you get vivid dreams with them but I was fine x

when I have trouble sleeping I take Evening Primose 1000 mg a couple hours before bedtime and it helps me. My gyno recommended it years ago for PMS. It's for womens health. The bottle says to take 3x's a day but since I don't suffer from PMS anymore I take it when I can't sleep. Good luck!

Thanks for suggestion. I take 1000mg of Starflower daily, which is a stronger version of EPO.
I've never been a great sleeper but it's getting ridiculous nowadays...probably past stresses/anxiety...out of sync etc
