Dose & Adminstration

Cautions
Generally well tolerated.
Carbidopa
Combining 5-HTP and carbidopa can increase the risk of
serotonergic side effects.
Central Nervous System (CNS) depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use of 5-HTP with medications that
cause sedation might have additive effects.
Serotonergic drugs
Theoretically, combining serotonergic drugs with 5-HTP might
cause additive serotonergic effects, including serotonin syndrome.
Always read the label. If symptoms persist, talk to your healthcare professional. Vitamin and mineral supplements should not replace a balanced diet.
