Basically, don't take cough syrups containing dextromethorphan if you're on SSRIs. This is a double whammie...SSRIs inhibit the metabolism of DXM, and DXM is also serotonergic in some way or other. There have been actual reports of interactions, including some quite severe ones.
I don't know about 5-HTP, although I wouldn't use it myself....
