A member asked:
I am taking l-tyrosine during the day and 5-htp at night. are these two supplements addictive? or any serious side effects? thank you very much!!!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, they are not: addictive. They are both related to amino acids, components of protein, and are not drugs per se. If you take a very high dose, you could get something called "serotonin syndrome", but not if you are taking a standard dose.
