a word of caution...........
5HTP (and tryptophan) increases serotonin and so if one is taking any med or supplement that already elevates serotonin,(eg anti depressant SSRIs like Paxil, zoloft etc) a dangerous condition known as serotonin syndrome aka serotonin spiking can result
many people do find 5HTP very helpful for OCD and depression
It helped my son with these when he was younger but now seems to make him very edgy so he doesnt use it anymore
