A member asked:
I took 5htp about an hour ago but i'm feeling very anxious. how long does it last in your body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Short half-life: 5 Hydroxytryptophan does not remain in the circulation for long. Half of it is gone in a few hours (2 - 7). Relief is fairly quick if it is going to work. It does not always relieve anxiety. If the cause of the anxiety can be identified and resolved, it may be the best way of managing the symptoms. If not, a professional counsellor might help.
