anyone take it for sleep? (not 5HTP) i have last 3-4 nights and its worked great. ive been on ambien 4-6 nights a week, and i think its a better alternative, as long as its working.

anyone else use it? any known long term side effects?

One thing that might be worth mentioning, is the fact that your serotonin receptors might downregulate if serotonin levels were repeatedly elevated. I looked around and could not find any abstracts/articles relating to what I stated, but I think it might be worth looking into.
