How much would be good to treat depression? I just got some today with a added B6.
Orthomolecular doses begin at 50mg of 5-HTP and can go up to 400-500mg. More is not necessary - if 2000mg of L-Tryptophan or 500mg of 5-HTP in combination with a good multi don't do the trick, then you are either on drugs which block those nutrients or your mental state has nothing to do with anything that anyone can help you physically.
If you start out with 100mg/day, then that should work within 2-5 days - if it does not work within 2 days you can up the dose.
