h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have a Bi-polar affective disorder and have been taking 5-HTP for two weeks, the results so far have been amazing. For the last 25 years my Dr. has tried several different treatments, (anticonvulsive,MAO inhibiters and mild antibiotics)I felt like a guinnie pig the side effects were nasty,(sensitivity to the sun, nausea and poor equilibrium) to name a few. I recommend the book 5-HTP by Micheal Murray, N.D. a Bantam book it is full of great information for anyone who suffers depression. 5-HTP is available as a natural suppliment but consult your Dr. before you try it
