> im in a bad way from withdrawals from risperdal and im thinking of starting to take 5-HTP to build me serotonin up and make myself feel good again... any advice??
Hi
I have often taken 5-HTP for withdrawal from a serotonergic antidepressant, and it helps LOADS, but its pretty brief. I cant say if it would help with risperal, is'nt it an antipsychotic?
Still, if you do try it, for short term use you only need 50 or 100mg/day tops. Higher doses (200 -300mg & above) are more for longer term treatment but I found it ineffective in the long term.
Hope you feel better soon.
