I couldn't get on with this. I started on one drop in the morning but slept fitfully and was extremely tired the next day. My guts felt like I was experiencing anxiety or the beginnings of diarrhea but bowel movements were fine.
I kept at one drop for 4 days but had to call it a day. I guess I could have tried a much wider dosing but cfs and all, I don't always think clearly.
I have reacted badly to an ssri when I was younger. I was given prozac but hated it. I can't remember what all the symptoms were (definite detaching from reality - well even more than usual) but I went to the doctor and he switched me onto the lowest possible dose, using the liquid form. It was still too much and I had to stop. The effects lingered and I started hearing the voices of my friends talking about me being my back when they weren't.
My experience of 5htp is that if I took it for more than a day I would go in the exact same direction. I've never taken it more than once in a row because of its immediate side effects.
I can certainly get a sense that serotonin has been an inhibiting factor in my life, from what I hear Ray say about it. I am amazed what I put up with in my life without making any movements to escape. Whilst any number of things could be going on, I wonder whether my sensitivity to the action of ritanserin is a result of a life lived with high serotonin, for want of a more exact or specific term. I don't want to be a masochist but I am interested if this sensitivity could be pushed through.
