5htp is a breakdown : product of tryptophan, which is an amino acid necessary for production of seratonin. Increased 5htp may lead to increased circulating serotonin. The best and safest thing to do is to ring your doc & discuss your thoughts/plans, and let her tell you if this is a Safe & effective approach in YOUR CASE. be well!
