I guess I knew about tryptophan, but I thought B vitamins made you rev up, causing ME anxiety.
Thanks for teaching me something today!
My schizophrenic brain read your Header as a Mexican saying…
Piss in a bottle! lol!
200mg of 5HTP is a LOT.
5HTP is potent. And it can be dangerous to take it long term.
Don’t take it AT ALL if you’re taking an antidepressant.
Interactions?
Major Interaction
Do not take this combination
!
Medications for depression (Antidepressant drugs) interacts with 5-HTP
5-HTP increases a brain chemical called serotonin. Some medications for depression also increase serotonin. Taking 5-HTP along with these medications for depression might increase serotonin too much and cause serious side effects including heart problems, shivering, and anxiety. Do not take 5-HTP if you are taking medications for depression.
Some of these medications for depression include fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil), sertraline (Zoloft), amitriptyline (Elavil), clomipramine (Anafranil), imipramine (Tofranil), and others.

I was crazy about supplements before my sz as I thought I they can cure me, I didn’t know what illness I had. I took L-Dopamine and went nuts. I took Lithium and was sleeping all day and had tingling in my legs. Now I don’t mess with them at all, just multivitamin and fish oil.
