I know several of you take different supplements to help with various things related to fibro.. and I have started trying a few of the more common ones for myself.. just to see if there is any difference - for me. (I am well aware that everyone is different and can react differently to things)
Tried GABA about a month ago.. really did not seem to do much for me.. maybe it is the form I tried, or perhaps the dosage, i dunno..
Tried 1 capsule of 5-HTP (50mg) last night - taken about 30 mins before bed time... and had the best nights sleep I have had in a VERY long time. Fell asleep reasonably quickly - within 30 minutes. I did have to get up once to use the bathroom, but crawled right back into bed and fell right to sleep again.. highly unusual for me these days.
it is my understanding the 5-HTP and GABA together are supposed to be even better for improving sleep quality.. so...
Does anyone else use these two supplements either separately or together? and if so, in what dosages? when do you take and how often? Just trying to get a feel for how/when these are typically used.
