5-HTP and high cortisol

Hello all,

Dr. Rind and others suggests using 5-HTP if one has trouble sleeping
while recovering from adrenal fatigue. I have read that 5-HTP actually
raises cortisol levels. My saliva tests show that I have very high
cortisol at night when I need to be sleeping. I am thinking that it
would not be helpful for me to sleep. Does anyone have information on
the relationship between 5-HTP and cortisol?

Thanks,
