If u take 5 htp but dont need it will it make you sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A possibility: Like all therapeutic agents 5-HTP can have a variety of side effects including nausea, fatigue, dizziness, diarrhea, low blood pressure etc. Such side effects are more likely to occur if you don't need it. It can help anxiety and may boost effectiveness of Prozac but should be used with caution in those on anti-depressants as it could raise serotonin too much. See https://tinyurl.com/y87jbpo5
