FAQs
Can I take it with antidepressants?
Do not combine it with antidepressants or other prescription medicines unless your doctor has approved it. The label specifically tells people taking medication, especially antidepressants, to consult a doctor first, because 5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin.
When should I take it?
The label says 1 capsule daily, preferably on an empty stomach at bedtime. Because it may cause drowsiness, bedtime use also avoids driving or operating machinery while you find out how it affects you. Take it with food if it upsets your stomach.
Where does the 5-HTP come from?
