5-HTP

So i'm just curious if anyone on here has used the suppliment 5-htp i've read up a lot about it all the benefits and possible side effects of using it however i'm not too worried about the side effects since the ones I have are all natural. I heard the weight loss benefits are great, and it was on dr. oz at one point ( i know he endorses some not so good things too like the green tea extract) but anyways I took my first dose today I know it takes a week or so to start seeing the effects but was just wondering if anyone had used it and had any luck with it?
