Valerian Root, 5-HTP, et al.
Bear03:
I started taking some Valerian and 5-HTP with my ZMA at night to help me sleep about a week back.
Basically, the only thing that happened to me was a 2-day migraine; the only plus of which was that i took so much freakin' advil my leg workout was SICK. But, that's neither here nor there- has anyone had problems from these supps before?
pac-man:
I would think it is from the 5-htp. I have read that it is one of the side effects. I have taken it before but I can't say that it did much. I didn't get a headace or anything but it didn't make me sleep any better either.

Bear,
I've never used 5-HTP or ZMA, but I have used Valerian. I had no problems with it. It helped me drift off to sleep, feeling well refreshed the next day. I experienced no adverse effects from using it. Your headaches could possibly have come from another source.
Hope That Helps,

sounds like the side effects many get from taking 5-htp.
Bear03:
alright, thanks y'all. I'm gonna blame the 5-htp. Neither really helped me that much anyway, so i'm just gonna stick with my ZMA.
Guess i wasted about 15 bucks.... >:( :-[
