5 – HTP is primarily used to support mood, since it is able to increase serotonin levels. Its comparison with various tricyclic antidepressants showed that this molecule is as effective and acts more quickly than the latter, with fewer adverse effects. Since serotonin and melatonin are involved in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, 5 – HTP also improves sleep quality. Additionally, research credits 5–HTP with a role in reducing fibromyalgia symptoms and migraine frequency. Studies in Spain and Italy found that 5-HTP is comparable to methysergide, a medication that relieves migraine symptoms (more than 70% in both groups) with fewer side effects. Fibromyalgia patients have been found to have low serotonin levels and their symptoms decreased with the use of tricyclic antidepressants and SSRIs. Numerous clinical trials of 5–HTP have also confirmed significant improvement in symptoms, including pain, morning stiffness, nervousness, and fatigue.
