pete66 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Anywhere to get get 5-htp supplement locally in Chiang Mai? Can import of course, but loads of hassle ........................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjars Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Am told by pharmacy that they have never had it, can get on prescription from hospital only, as is not an approved Thai over the counter drug like it is in UK and many other countries. I am currently looking for it too! Any luck yet ? Another source has mentioned that it may be available on the Thai herb/pills/slimming meds stall on ground floor of Tesco Kamthieng. that is on the corner opposite the black canyon.

WarProfiteer Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Last I heard, people mostly used it for sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronz28 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 DoctorOz.com recommends taking 5-HTP with Melatonin to sleep better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irlguy1 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Be very careful with that stuff. I used it for a few weeks to try to sort my insomnia and it made me very agitated and gave me palpitations. It can also have a very bad effect if mixed with even prescription meds so not worth experimenting. I felt totally shit for over a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronz28 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I take it and have not had the experience you did. We are all different so I understand your concern. It might also be a problem with the manufacturer and you might have taken pills from a bad batch. I would pay up if needed for a known good source to be sure. I don't live in Thailand, but am curious to learn who are the trusted sources other than overpriced hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, anxiety and also made me very groggy, though good for sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
