As a former serious ecstasy user, I started taking 5-HTP to help replenish the serotonin levels in my brain, however after an incident which stopped my ecstasy use I came up with an idea. If ecstasy simply causes the brain to release serotonin then maybe enough 5-HTP would do the same. I began trying different doses to find out the effects. The first few times I only tried a few doses and the effects were generally good moods. So I tried more and more doses.

Now I usually take 6 doses of 500mg every two hours for about 12 hours. The effects are pretty good. Not nearly as intense as ecstasy, but it generally gives a great feeling all over. For example it makes me more interested in things, like movies or video games. And there is no hangover, the only lasting after effect is a prolonged good mood. I have never had any bad side effects other than maybe slight nausea, but it doesn't last. I have been using these pills nearly every weekend for about the last four years and have not had any problems.
