Swim only takes 50 mg at the time. At least if swim is sleeping, she's not exactly hurting either.

SWIM noticed that as well. He was using 5-HTP for the week following a really good roll to try and boost serotonin levels so he could roll like that again the following weekend. However he was sleeping for over 12 hours at a time and waking up extremely groggy. At the advice of a friend (theorizing that if the tryptophan in turkey makes people tired 5-HTP should as well) he stopped taking it and it definitely had a noticable difference. He ended up not needing it anyway since he didn't get to roll that weekend.
