I started using GABA and 5HTP according to the questionairs in the previous weeks. I seem to be sleeping much better, but now I feel as though I could sleep all day. I feel fatigued and tired all the time now. Should I discontinue them or maybe only take them at night? I was using the chart for reccomended usage.

Thanks!

You could eliminate taking them in the a.m. and just do the afternoon and evening, and see how you feel, or try taking them just in the evening. Another option is to take the 5HTP alone at night and try combining the Gaba with tyrosine in the am and afternoon.
Let us know what you decide to do and how it goes.

Dr. Winnie,

I was taking the recommended dosage on the chart shown for that week. 1 5HTP and 1 GABA mid morning, and 1 each mid afternoon. Then at night I took 2 5HTP and 1 GABA.

Thanks!

Discontinue them for now. Tell me how much you are taking and when and I'll try to adjust the schedule and dose.
