5-HTP and serotonergic meds
Dear Blue
if you should find some 5-HTP and decide to try it make sure you are not taking serotonergic medications at the time - and if you had been, that enough time has past for them to have cleared your system. these include SNRI or SSRI type antidepressants (Prozac) and dextromethorphan (cough suppressant). you risk serotonin syndrome. caution with triptans to avoid migraines. there are other serotonergic medications these are just examples as you mentioned the prozac.
