Lar,
quick question. We've talked about how tryptophan + an ssri (and lithium) increases the risk of serotonin syndrome (which is why I DON'T take the tryptophan regularly).
BUT...does 5htp carry the SAME risk of serotonin syndrome when combined with an ssri and lithium as the tryptophan does?
Or does 5htp possibly carry a LOWER risk (or none at all?)? I don't know if I would respond as well to 5htp as I do trypto...but IF I did, could I possibly SAFELY use 5htp with my ssri & lithium? Or would the risk be the same? Thanks!!!
