i’ve read some people pre-load with 5htp tyrosine etc before they roll (seems to be an american idea ;-)) but i’m not sure it really helps if you have a generally good diet and so on before. you also do have to watch out for serotonin syndrome (especially if also on other meds).
after the party though i think 5-htp is a great idea, to help the brain stock up again. helps you sleep afterwards and bit of a mood lift the next day. ifirst found out about it in 1998 or so when rugs were still rugs and 5-htp cost a quid each, happily they’re much cheaper now (agree with acidfairy to steer clear of the valierian ones and also you can look out for vegy ones as not all of them are). i try to remember to have one when i get in, sometimes another one next day to make sure 🙂
