One of the things that crops up in the books I have been reading on 5-HTP, I have been experimenting with is how dangerous it is to combine it with another antidepressant although, of course, there are numerous drugs that could precipitate such an episode.
I guess I had what you might call a serotonin syndrome when I first tried 5-HTP a few weeks ago. I was real sick, teeth non-stop chattering, hypomanic. I was using under guidance, in that I told my doctor I was going to use it. By the time I arrived at the local hospital(30 minutes)I was fine. I had another attmept with the 5-HTP at a lower dosage than recommended but getting only moderate effects for typical anxiety and depression problems, but it is helping. Scared to increase dose, not satisfied with current dosage effect, what to do?
Thanks for any input.
