Q,
I took 100 mg. per day. Two 50 mg. capsules. Didn't change my diet. Really didn't know too much about that. Will have to try that next time. I'd just always associated the HA with low serotonin levels and thought it would be worth a try. Anyway, I'll wait until next time and start taking it right away and see what happens. Seems like for me, when I get these my body is out of sync. Sleep is off, waking times are off etc. When everything gets on the right track again, they stop. I've had them for 31 years now and that has been the only thing I have ever been able to figure out. I've tried lots of medications, seems like they work once and not the next time. Right now I use Imitrex and Oxygen as abortives but will try the 5-htp again when they strike next time. (Hopefully in a couple years!)
