A member asked:

I have been drinking excessice caffeine since 2008. can 5 htp help with caffeine induced derealization? i stopped drinking caffeine six weeks ago.

I have no doubt: That you are going through withdrawal and it takes time. Do not take another drug. Use self discipline and wait for resolution of the craving.
