I recently started those 5-HTP pills. Have they helped anyone? Has anyone notice more irritability on them???

I recently started those 5-HTP pills. I found some on Amazon, with great reviews. I have only been taking them about 5 days now but I have noticed increased moodiness and irritability and am wondering if anyone else has experience this. Is this normal? Should I stick it out a few more weeks to see if I balance out?

I haven't heard about them, but I will look them up. Don't let anyone tell you herbs and stuff like that aren't dangerous because they are.I will read about them and see what they are

My "healthcare" professionals" try to get me on medication that has pretty awful side affects. So yes, I did research, A LOT of research on something that is more natural. Not sure there's anything wrong with that. My question wasn't really answered but I guess thank you for your "opinion"...and I'm not really sure where your judgment is coming from.
