I can have bad eating habits sometimes, but I'm under average weight and unable to gain weight. Should I still consider 5-htp since it's an appetite suppressant?


i wouldn't worry about the appetite suppressant effect. Also exercise (and cannabis) will definitely help with appetite.

Can't stress enough the effects of exercise. Makes your body run better, provides confidence, provides a positive routine to orient your life around, makes girls notice, etc. I do 3 sets of pushups ever other day (started doing this when I was 30, now I'm 34), and it has had a massive effect on virtually everything in my life.

Do not take 5-HTP if you are on any other serotonin-related drugs


Ah okay, I'm already taking prescription cannabis.
