I found these dosage recommendations, not sure about accuracy but it may give you some place to start.
Dosage Recommendations
Nervous System
Most orthomolecular-oriented physicians recommend the use of 300 - 600 mg of 5-HTP per day for the treatment of Depression:
- Many people using 5-HTP for the treatment of Depression experience benefits from doses of 50 - 150 mg per day and some people experience benefit from as little as 25 mg of 5-HTP per day.
The standard dosage of 5-HTP for the treatment of Epilepsy is 150 - 300 mg per day.
The standard dosage of 5-HTP for the treatment of Down’s Syndrome is 1 mg of of 5-HTP per kg of body weight.
The standard dosage of 5-HTP for the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease is 100 - 600 mg per day.
