Default 5-HTP (Griffonia simplicifolia)

I have tried 5-HTP (Griffonia simplicifolia) myself. Bought it at the drug store without any doctor's prescription. I am taking 150mg pill twice a day, one in the morning and one before going to bed along with a 200 mg pill of St. John's Wort.
I feel wonderful, however, suppose the dosage is too high, since I completely lost my sexual drive, I guess, due to excess in serotonine. The feeling is as if I had undergone chemical castration. I can look at a nice naked woman with indifference...
I will lower the dose to fix that.
Well, Sarain, I am affraid your body will get used to 5-hydroxitryptofan as it got used to Paxil and other medications. Doctors advise switching from time to time.
You should also take fish oil (rich in omega 3 acids) and B group vitamins.
