I have been using the 5htp for anxiety and since using it i am ALWAYS bloated,constipated and feel horribly full - i am retaining water also.

Its meant to ease anxiety, but in honestly, the anxiety of this feeling is worse - and i can't eat without feeling ill as I'm not hungry… Im overeating as i cant gauge fullness as im only eating because its 'time'.

Any one have any similar experiences to share?

    I do not share these experiences but I am taking 5HTP and I feel like ever since I started taking it again I can not lose weight like I was. Maybe its not the pill, maybe I have just a stump but if I stop taking it I get really cranky & moody, worse then I was before.
