Morning decoction revisited

In earlier thread, asked whether others suicidal before morn's first java, achieving only one response, "….of course.."; my fam doc however responding, "I never have heard of any such thing"

So (1) any other input appreciated

Today felt lousy all morn so at noon tried a large dose (6 x 100 mg) of 5-htp, whereupon an hour later I felt positively wonderful. In the meantime however my Better Half had called my attention to a cup of coffee I had forgotten upon arousal, whereupon I had unthinkingly downed it

So can't say which nostrum to credit

But (2) wondering in this connection whether you are as unsuccessful as I in the field of experimentation; somehow I'm always thwarted, seemingly can draw no conclusions whatever, alas alack

…...then when go to Google get 38,446,393 hits largely contradicting one another and confirming the long-ago observation of a scifi author, "Everything is 95 percent bullshit"

(Incidentally can you remember his name)

So (3) have you tried 5-htp and (a) if so how do you like it, although (b) are you aware of any serious side issues, while © can you recommend any other such elixirs and (d) why doesn't Mac recognize paren-c--close-paren or is it that I'm high

Thanks for wading through the trivial peregrinations of an apparent Bot


On another subject entirely (4) do you know for sure whether clove oil repeatedly applied to a worn tooth will eventually kill the nerve endings
