Hey guys im currently on lamictal,invega,lithium, and nardil. I also take a thyroid med. Lately ive ben augmenting nardil with 5htp, and its ben working solid. Much less paranoiaparanoia around people,better able to communicate with people, and overall better mood. For the first time in a while i feel like i could hold a full time job. Its definitly not 100 percent remission but it is definitly a solid improvment over the horrible state of mind i was in before i added thethe 55htp. Im aiming to get my nardil dose up high enough to get to 100 percent remission so i wont need the 5htp, and in case ur wondering i have experienced very close to 100 percent relief on nardil years ago, but at a much higher dose then im at now. Due to a previos hospitalization and weight gain my doctor is taking a long time to move up in dose. Ive ben on nardil for almost a year this 2nd time around, yet have only gone up in dose once im at 30mg. She wants me to lose some weight first which ive ben slacking on. She also wants my liver function tests to be normal which is what im concerned about. Out of the last 3 tests the first 2 werewere slightly high and then after i lost 15lbs they were normal. Just to note im pretty overweight for my height of 5 foot 7 and a half. Im almost 230 lbs, i used to weigh a lot less but i did not prepare and discipline myself for the increase in appetite that certain medications gave me. I want to kno if the 5htp could potentialy affect my liver function test results. Ive checked the internet and theres really not much info on the subject. I would to give it up cause it definitly is helping, but my doctor wants my liver function tests to be normal and the way im seeing it is they have to be to go up in nardil dose. So i hope u guyd enjoyed hearing what im goin through but can anyone answer my question the 5htp and if it negatively affects liver function tests? Thanks for reading
