I treated a 28-year-old mother of one who had significant irritability 7 to 10 days prior to her menstrual cycle and who refused to take prescription medication. She was treated with 5-HTP-a standing dose of 30 mg twice a day, with “as needed” doses of 15-20 mg throughout the days of her PMS. That made a total of 50-70 mg day. She was able to control her irritability and emotionalism during her menstrual phase without the use of prescription medications.
