I have cut the patch in half as side effects of faster gut movement & shivering occurred within 5 days. The y stay on fine as long as you dont use body lotion first. They have helped with getting a deeper sleep.

I come off prescription anti-depressants and straight on the patches, I feel better than on prescription and I have far more energy. I would recommend these to anyone wanting to change to a natural supplement.

In the past I have taken Citalopram. I have recently had a bout of anxiety and depression, but really didn’t want to take prescription medication again if I could avoid it. The patches were recommended to me and avoid the peaks and troughs of taking tablets. I had never taken 5HTP in tablet form prior to using patches. Within 48 hours of using the patches I saw a massive improvement in my mood, ability to sleep and clarity of thought process. I have been amazed that more people are not aware of 5HTP and it’s benefits especially the patch form of the product. Many thanks.

I tried 5htp tablets but had digestive issues so could not tolerate them at all. Then I tried the patches and boom what a success. Have suffered anxiety and depression for many years. The patches made me feel less anxious, calmer and less tired. Thank you for creating this patch!

Would give 5 * if they didn’t leave such a sticky residue. These are incredible and only now that they’re out of stock have i realised how much i rely on them to fight anxiety and insomnia, my partner does too. They just seem to bring that stress level down a notch! Also, we’ve both noticed a lift in mood and ability to cope with stressful situations as well as reduced PMT. Just equips us with more energy and balanced mind to cope with things. The only downside (and this is a big one for someone using every day, like myself and my partner) they leave terrible sticky squares which have to be scrubbed off with quite some effort. I bought the patches originally because i had severe cramps and stomach upset from taking 5htp capsules, and these have had no negative side effects at all. Really hope these are back in stock ASAP!!!

Was pleased with the patches until I developed a very itchy rash on my back and leg and when I stopped using them it started to go. Very disappointed.

This is the second 3 month batch I’ve bought and I’m convinced they’re helping. Since starting to use them, to my surprise, as I’ve always been a worrier, it is so much easier to take things in my stride. No idea what’s t really happened scientifically, but it feels as if my brain has rewired itself and something that was missing before isn’t now.

I have had ongoing mental health problems (depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, eating disorder, ADD) from a young age, but following a horrible experience with SSRI’s during an acute episode, have chosen to opt for natural treatment over the past 4 years. I manage brilliantly with holistic therapies but have had stubborn issues around depressive moods, poor cognitive function, tiredness and just generally always having the potential of relapsing looming over my head. I recently hit a peak as I have returned to education and was really struggling to keep up mentally as well as with the routine and schedule required, which lead me to discover the use of 5HTP – after reading plenty of reviews and research papers, I found these patches on Bodykind and they truly are incredible! I combine with a dose of l-tyrosine in the morning and feel like my light hearted, laid back self for the first time in forever. Not only do I sleep through the night, I wake up feeling fresh and also have a sense of contentment and happiness throughout the day that depression often steals away. I feel motivated, happily handling things that previously made me feel overwhelmed, and I have found they increase both mental and physical performance. I know my case is particular to me, but I’m recommending everyone I know with any issues around mood / sleep / anxiety to research and try these patches in the hopes it’ll help them as much as they have me. So glad I found them and don’t have to consider medication to feel barely functional again!

I have not used the patches yet as I am taking warfarin for AF and I have read that you should not use the patches in this case. However, I am taking the pills. I am confused – can you enlighten me please? I am used 5-HTP for panic attacks which I have had since I retired from work.

I have been highly impressed with the effectiveness of the patch, definitely wont be going back to tablets.

Highly recommend these, so much so I ordered extra to give to friends of mine. I have been suffering from anxiety and ticks for a while now. These patches have not completely eliminated the problem but have cut it back to it happening very occasionally now. Confident that continued use should eventually clear the problem, much better then having to take an SSRI as the only side effect I have had is an increased sense of taste and smell… buy some!!!

Been using these now for a couple of weeks, having used the capsule form for some time, and although sceptical of the effectiveness of patches at first, I am pretty sure I feel better with these now. I think there is a psychological advantage of swallowing tablets as there’s no doubt the good stuff’s getting in, however the slow and consistent release of the patches, and not losing anything through your digestive system can only be a good thing. They only lose a star because, if your bath time / shower routine changes, or you have more than 1 a day, I found that sometimes the patch came unstuck and could not be reapplied, or would have a loose edge that would stick to the clothing etc. The other very slight thing is not really knowing exactly what dosage you are getting. Having said that, I will be ordering more of these when they run out and would recommend them to anyone who is thinking of trying or is already using the tablets.

After finishing work I unfortunately went through a bad patch of severe anxiety this ultimately left me with tinnitus which has been hard to control with the usual ssri and snri meds as I’m not keen on taking tablets due to re-flux acid so patches seemed to be the way forward.After the first week of use things seem to settling down although its still early days however, you get little to no side effects as you would with tablets so now looking forward to the next 2-3 weeks hopefully withe greater results.The onl negative problem is the patch can come off if a jumper or tea shirt rubs against it during the day.

this patch starts coming unglued after about 5 hours (I follow instructions precisely). It comes completely off when it gets wet in the shower or bath

I have been using these for two weeks. I replaced taking 5htp orally with the patch. I had recently replaced taking Sertraline with the oral 5htp. The patches work much better than the oral dosage, keeping an even level in your system. For me this made a big difference. The capsules – even though they were time release, always seemed to be not enough or too much. I don’t think I could have gotten off the Sertraline without this patch. The only reason I gave 1/2 star off, was that I do not like the material the patches are made from or the adhesive. I use a b-12 patch that has a better fabric and adhesive – but maybe that fabric won’t work for this substance. Also the patch does come off in the shower. I have found that if I have to shower and it is not time to change the patch I can remove the patch and then put it back on after thouroughly dry. Highly recommend this product – It is the product of the year for me.

Using the patches felt like the first time I ever tried 5HTP. The effect of tablets more or less wore off for me recently, so I am very glad to have found these patches 🙂

I can see why these patches aren’t for everyone – you need to remember to take one off and put one on each day whereas I must say I found taking a tablet was easier. That said I have definitely found these skin patches to be more effective than tablets and the effect seems to last longer. Fast delivery time also.

I feel they make me less anxious and help me sleep better..

I prefer the patch due to prescription drugs wrecking my stomach and I’ve heard the tablet form of this can be harsh. I’ve had no problems with this at all and am starting to sleep better. Early days but positive start.

I received these patches last week within two days of my order. Patches seem comfortable, and 5htp is definitely noticeable through the day. I have been taking them off at night mainly for comfort. I have tried lots of 5htp products – and this is definitely the best.

Great patches. Worked well for me and my wife, as we have been having sleeping problems for ages. Now no problems.
