<p>Actually, the answers above need a tweak...You don't "get used to low serotinin" you need it to regulate mood and sleep. 5HTP is the amino acid precursor to Serotonin and you body will convert it to actual circulating serotonin...not simply recirculate the existing serotonin. That is what SSRI medications like Prozac, Lexapro, etc...do they are Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors.</p> <p>Yes, one could eat a baked potatie or some other complex carbohydrate before bed for a similar effect...but it sort of defeats the purpose of limiting your carb, eh?</p>
