5-Htp and when to take

**scoopydowop** · 2.10.2008, 1:05 am

Okay so I know all about preloading I usually preload 7-10 days before with rollingballzcrew recommendations. But I am starting to see forums of people saying that taking 5-htp when you roll or even the same day before you roll "mutes" part of your roll. Is it a bad idea to take right before rolling? Should I take the night before and then not again till post-loading?

i'm not sure. but i took 5htp the day after a rave and i got extremely sick.

i wouldn't reccomend taking 5htp until like a couple days after.

not during or anything.

but thats just my opinion! hope i helped

I take it several times a day leading up to the rave. The day of the rave I just wake up late. Eat a good breakfast. Eat a good lunch. Drink a ton of OJ through out the day. Then I rave the night away. Then right after I get home I take some 5-HTP and

then pass the fuck out.

I think it does take some time to get use to 5-htp. thats why i take 7-10 days before cause first few days a little sick but it goes away and i def. can tell a huge difference when taking and not taking after rolling.But i dont want to take anything that will mute a roll......I guess i am just trying to figure out the optimum way of taking drugs

if your getting sick off of 5htp it means your getting sick off of happy. because 5htp increases serotonin and (should) make you overall happier. I try to take 5htp after a night of rolling so i can get my sero back.

You don't want to take the 5htp the day of the roll, especially right before you pop or during the experience, some say it mutes, others report it affects the way you roll... like a roller coaster of up and down and what not. Preload before the party if you would like, maybe stop a day or 2 before hand, and then the day of don't take any, you'll want to take some after you've come all the way off the roll or just start the next day if you're looking to boost your replenishing powers.

Also... not sure if this has been mentioned here or if many of you know it... but for those looking to get the best out of their roll, here's something to keep in mind... A lot of people tend to take an initial dose, and then when they start coming down they take another full dose. This actually isn't the best method. If your initial intake is 2 pills, you will want to take HALF of your initial dose during your PEAK. So in this case you want to only take 1 pills during your peak in order to extend your roll to the max. Taking it during your come-down period to try and roll again doesn't have as much of an effect extending your roll as it would taking it during your peak. Don't waste your supply either... you only need half of your original dose. In this case... taking 2 pills during your peak would be a waste. Only the first pill will actually work and the 2nd pill you take is just going to waste. Why not save that extra pill for another day because taking it then wont have any effect what-so-ever... just a complete waste. So yeah once again... take your regular dose, during the peak (not before, not after) take half your initial dose. If you forget to do it during your peak and remember as you're coming down, feel free to take that 2nd half dose, it will have an effect... just not as much as it could have been.

Enjoy kids and be safe.

surprisingly enough... acidic drinks [like oj] do not mix well with amphetamines at all.

im not sure how much this applies to your mdma intake
but jus be carefuls

Don't take it prior or with your tab; it will give a hard nasty hit. Extremely hard from what I recall.

i had some 5htp in my car when i rolled up to A Galaxy Far Away and just took one not even thinkin much about it. i didnt know then that u werent supposed to take it the night of. i then popped a (very) good naked lady and still rolled pretty nicely. at psymbolic 2 i popped one of the same ladys and the roll was a bit different. a lot more energetic.

All these responses are fucking stupid.

5HTP is a chemical that causes your brain to produce more serotonin.

Best thing to do is pre load before your roll so you have more serotonin in your brain.

Take a few every hour the day of your roll.

Then take a bunch after you come down so you are not 8-up as bad the next day.

Don't forget to eat those turkey sandwiches and bananas (the roller's diet)!!!

I took 'em both at the same time and my roll was nice. Kids who took several pills were asleep and I was still dancing on my one. I'm 45. i hear http-5 should not be taken with b vitamins as it converts the seratonin in your blood not in your cells.

See that's where you forget that while 5htp may be a precursor to serotonin it is still a chemical that if taken with E will cause it to react and work differently. Two different chemicals in your system do affect each other, which is why you aren't supposed to mix medication unless recommended by a doctor who knows how the two will react to each other. Take the 5htp to preload and all, but don't take it with your pill as it may cause it to react in your system differently.
