Can i take 5htp with birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely yes: As far as i understand five htp is a supplement which acts on your brain as appetite suppressant , antidepressant , sleep aid. Given that it acts neurologically, i don't suspect any effect on birth control pills but it had not been well studied together.
