A member asked:
My serotonin level is 25 times as high as it should be, what should i do i'm gonna stop with taking 5-htp supplements, but what next, no food tips...

Stop Supplement: I agree that stopping the supplement is a good idea. I would wait and repeat test a few weeks after that, unless you are experiencing flushing or other symptoms of serotonin syndrome in which case your doctor should do a work-up for carcinoid or other serotonin secreting rumors.
