It has changed my life and works really well for me. Compared to how I felt before it is a huge improvement!
I had bizzare dreams for the first month. Those have gone away. I take the kind that is only 5-HTP and Vit B-6.
I took another kind that had all sorts of stuff in it and it made me very sick to my stomach.
