Is it okay to take 5-htp and l-tyrosine together?

HTP/Tyrosine: Not advised, since both can increase serotonin in your system.

No: 5htp is an inhibitory neurotransmitter precursor, and l_tyrosine is a stimulatory neurotransmitter precursor. Taking them together will probably counteract any benefit that you are seeking from either one.
