They are similar serotonin boosters. Actually, the possible interaction is really considered an overdose. When two prescriptions for low dosage are used, there isn't a severe threat. It is when both dosages are high that a reaction is produced.
No
interaction
Can you mix prednisone with 5htp
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.
can we take ginkgo and 5htp together
Yes you can. No interaction listed on BNF
my daughter has sinus infection. she is taking Doryx for her face.
Taking two or more drugs at the same time will usually cause an interaction of some type.
Anytime you are taking multiple drugs, there will be an interaction or a reaction. Be careful.
Interaction management.
We make friends so we learn and contribute to others. Life is all about interaction, giving and taking.
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. Willem
