Hi Chris.

Thank you for your reply. Don't worry. I don't think you're being negative; you're being honest. I was worried I might have been too negative when I posted that message about Richard Wurtman and his objection to ingesting 5-HTP. You seemed to benefit from the 5-HTP, but I guess it's best to err on the side of caution until we have more information.

And, speaking of negativity (or is it caution, or fear?), I'm wary of taking exogenous melatonin. I can't help but think, "Melatonin is a hormone produced by my body. I don't know whether I'm deficient in it or not. If I take it as a supplement, will my body's own production of melatonin shut down?" Yet, my circadian rhythms are so whacky, I'm feeling desperate to try it. Actually, I've tried it a few times in the distant past, but I must have taken the wrong dose. I get the feeling there is a very fine between taking too much and not enough.
