A member asked:
Can i take 5 htp with prilosec? i also take vitamins like b12 and d3.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: 5-htp (hydroxy-tryptophan) is a precursor for the Amino Acid tryptophan typically taken at bedtime for sleep. Usually 1 or 2 50 mg capsules is sufficient as 50 mg of 5-htp is equivalent to 500 mg tryptophan. However, too much 5-htp can have the opposite effect and cause increased restlessness. In re: prilosec, base powder (e.g., tri-sals) may be used as a natural alternative used for reflux.
