A member asked:
I just recently stopped taking 40mg of celexa. how long do i need to wait before starting 5-htp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait a week or so: Taking these medications together increases the risk of a serious side effect "serotonin syndrome". Since the half-life of Celexa is about 35 hours, waiting for a week or so will insure that it is out of your system before you take 5-HTP. Check with your doctor to be sure, and let him or her know all the medications and supplements you are taking.
