My doctor said its ok and none of my research online has shown any reason why it would be dangerous. As it affects different neurotransmitter systems there should be no interaction.
Personally, its the only way I can take Concerta (36mg). Without 5htp I get anxious, antisocial and suffer from tics (exessive blinking). It also helps me "shift gear" and not get so stuck on one thing. It seems that the resulting rise in serotonin has a balacing effect on the increase in dopamine/noradrenaline.
Note that I am and adult and 5htp might well have different effects on the brain of a developing child. Rather check with your doctor to be sure.

5-HTP and ginkgo together?
can we take ginkgo and 5htp together
Can you take Ativan and 5htp at the same time?
should be ok, but ativan is a depressant tranquilliser so why would you need to take 5htp which is an atidepressant.?? There is a risk of doubling sedation in some and in others the 5htp will counteract the sedative of the ativan. I doubt either is what you want. I dont think its dangerous but just unnecesary. iF YOU ARE JUST TREATING ANXIETY Since they are both short acting, you should take the 5htp in the morning and the ativan at bedtime.
