Question Thanks for your previous reply. Ive heard 5htp causes "serotonin syndrome". MY QUESTION IS: Would taking 300mg of 5-htp daily with no other serotonin affecting medications/supplements give me ANY CHANCE of causing serotonin syndrome???
Also would my risk increase if 5-htp is taken with alcohol??? And would St Johns Wort be better/safer than 5-htp? Thanks for help.
Answer That is all new to me. Do you have some symptoms. I really don't have that much experience with 5 htp. Only my experience and what I'm heard. It shouldn't be a problem. Maybe you don't need as much or maybe you should change formulas. St Johns Wort is an excellent herb . Some people have trouble with that too. And It takes longer to be effective.Jayne
