I replied earlier, but it's disappeared. I've been taking 5 HTP for at least a 15 years. I take it at bedtime with magnesium bisglysinate and ashwagandha. I weaned off antidepressants in 2020. I started taking antidepressants in 1989 and shouldn't have been on them longer than 2 years.

Hi Peter! Hope you're doing ok today 💜
I used to take it, but my MD told me I shouldn't take it with my antidepressants as it can cause serotonin syndrome. I also remember having GI side effects. Seems like another medical reason not to, but can't remember what... 🥴 Thanks again fibro fog😵‍💫
Love and wishes for a low pain day,
Deb 😘

I do! My naturopath had me start this almost 20 years ago. It works for me.

My doctor just gave me 2 mg of seratonin. For sleep

How did 5 HTP help you Faustian. Do you remember the dose you took.? Take care.
