Other than 5-HTP are there any legal compounds
that increase serotonin levels?

Application: Sleep disorder
Detail: Arousals based on ECG
Agent tried: Melotonin
Problem: sensitivity/reaction; can't use

Perhaps increase in serotonin level may help.

Perhaps another type of supplement would do. I had great success with an herbal concoction of valarian, passion flower and hops. Check with your doctor first to avoid any interactions.

Thank you for your interest.

May I ask what dosages you find useful?
Can you tell me what resource(s) you used
to determine that these botanicals were
useful?

Thanks in advance,

Bob B

Bbruck, I’m sorry I didn’t notice your post until now (thanks, Karrow!).

When I was having trouble sleeping, I called a vitamin supplier/ natural food store and asked what they recommended. They suggested Herbal Sleep. I checked with my doctor and she did not have a problem with me using it. The dosages are indicated on the bottle and I never needed more (unlike when I was using/ addicted to regular sleep aids).

I have found that plain valerian supplements work, as well.
