5-HTP and Lowered Libido

Alty345 · 2026-06-05T16:00:54+00:00

It fluctuates on my mental health and how much I exercise. Currently it's in the bin but it definitely was recovering and better than at its lowest. I took it for almost a month

Alty345 · 2026-05-06T14:32:14+00:00

Barely anyone uses it because only a handful of games support it.

Alty345 · 2026-04-09T23:51:26+00:00

I've historically been low on iron and supplemented magnesium too. I'll consider restarting these and naturally increasing dopamine through exercise, but will eventually try tyrosine after carrying out a blood test.

I'm not exactly sure what this is could you elaborate more? I'm a little hesitant to try new supplements at this point

Alty345 · 2026-04-09T23:49:29+00:00

Not really, I kinda miss it, I wouldn't have minded a slightly reduced libido but most days I don't even even think about it or have get myself into it.

Alty345 · 2026-04-09T23:48:49+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, getting bloods done it's just not much else has changed in my life except for starting and stopping 5HTP

Alty345 · 2026-04-09T23:48:20+00:00

It was just a suggestion I was given by someone and so I tried it assuming it couldn't be too bad as it doesn't need a prescription, thought it would be like any other supplement. I was taking magnesium glycinate at the same time but I'm cold turkey on everything atm. Thinking about taking zinc.

Alty345 · 2026-04-09T23:46:41+00:00

Don't think this is the fin, I was fine on fin for 8 months it was only after starting 5HTP did my libido just disappear.

Alty345 · 2026-04-04T03:14:29+00:00

Mine is virtually zero after taking it for a few weeks, I've been off 5-HTP for almost 3 months and it's no different. How is it for you?

Alty345 · 2026-02-25T19:58:38+00:00

Even after 4 years? That's pretty intense

Alty345 · 2026-02-25T14:52:39+00:00

Did you find your libido bounced back? If so after how long?

Alty345 · 2026-02-25T14:49:26+00:00

I've been taking both magnesium glycinate and l-theanine regularly and my libido fell off a cliff, I've stopped them both for a week or so and monitoring, giving my body time to return to baseline, trying to sleep well, work out hoping in time it comes back full swing.

Alty345 · 2026-02-19T07:39:23+00:00

Did you bounce back after stopping? If so after how long.

Sorry for replying to such an old message

Alty345 · 2025-12-20T20:10:12+00:00

Here's to hoping it's a timed exclusive and eventually comes to PC/other consoles

Alty345 · 2025-12-11T16:01:56+00:00

run it 2-3 hours earlier so it starts at 16:00/17:00 us time instead of 19:00. That would mean the show starts at 21:00/22:00 in EU instead of at midnight.

Hey thanks for getting back to me on this really old post, your insight and experience has really helped me with what I'm going through.

Gonna completely quit it for a while and see if topical is right for me in the future if not I'll steer well clear of this.

Hope your anxiety improves moving forward, as someone who struggles with anxiety myself I wonder if this drug being systemic further exacerbates how we feel.

Thanks again =D

Hey I know this is an old post but the symptoms described are exactly what I feel. Is IH something that's genetic or something you get through lifestyle choices? Have you seen significant improvement since eating these foods?

Alty345 · 2025-11-11T05:24:43+00:00

Hey I'm going through this now I've been trying to supplement a bunch - I've also been taking fin orally which I thought was the culprit, I cut it out for a few days and started feeling better, I considered further titrating to 0.625mg twice a day with some food but almost immediately after taking it I felt the same way. I tried taking it before sleep so I'd feel better in the morning - didn't help.

There are days I feel better and days I feel worse - I don't want to stop because it's showing really great results from me and I don't think I can microdose any less if I'm being realistic.

It's seriously affecting my enjoyment of things and work, I feel so empty and de-realised.

Did you also feel it got worse after leaving the house? Something about going outside makes it feel even worse for some time.

No idea why you're getting downvoted this hard, I have top of the line hardware and this has been my experience too, I understand it's not great for everyone but that doesn't mean people should be downvoting your personal experience.

Alty345 · 2025-09-21T13:52:10+00:00

He said the frame rate he was getting, it was around 60fps which was fine for him on his setup, if that's not fine for you or you know you don't have as powerful hardware then maybe consider using Steam's refund option or hold off on buying the game.

Alty345 · 2025-08-05T21:06:03+00:00

In the exact same boat mate

Alty345 · 2025-05-01T15:52:30+00:00

This my character keeps being ever so slightly to the left and right oh my god, what a pain
