First of all, I am not a doctor, so what follows is just my opinion. If you are taking quetiapine (Seroquel), then you should talk to the prescribing physician before taking any supplements, especially ones that can be sedating or otherwise affect neurotransmitter levels (5-HTP does both).
That said, I am taking citalopram (Celexa), an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), along with a low dose (25mg) of quetiapine. My doctor said that this is a safe combination that they use frequently and with good results. So my guess is that if you are taking a low dose of quetiapine for sleep, as I am, your doctor will be okay with you taking 5-HTP along with it. If you are actually using quetiapine for it's proper function as an antipsychotic, you'll be taking a much higher dose than me; that could be an issue, since quetiapine DOES affect several 5-HT (serotonin) receptors.
New AnswerNo don't do it. I did it and had to go to the hospital. Also seroquel is a risky drug with lots of side effects so you should check with your doctor about better sleeping pills like benedryls or something. End New AnswerNew Answeri am just a normal user / not a doctor, but i just had a bad experience (DON'T MIX THESE) last night, Seroquel + 5-HTP. i believe it leads to what can googled as "Serotonin Syndrome". mine was minor, because i took extremely small doses of each (thank God), but otherwise i could see that getting 'stomach-pumped' bad, or whatever. it was 0 enjoyable & i got no sleep. don't mix.sorry
You should not take Lexapro and 5-htp together. I have read this several places.
can we take ginkgo and 5htp together
can cymbalt and 5-htp be taken together
can cymbalt and 5-htp be taken together
Combining Seroquel (quetiapine), Intuniv (guanfacine), and 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) should be approached with caution. Both Seroquel and Intuniv affect neurotransmitter systems, and adding 5-HTP, which increases serotonin levels, could potentially lead to serotonin syndrome or other interactions. It's crucial to consult a healthcare professional before combining these medications to ensure safety and proper management of your condition.
Yes they are safe to take together. They effect different neurotransmitters, the Clonazepam effects primarily gaba receptors while the 5-htp effects serotonin.

Sure, you can take 5-HTP with Trazodone, but it's not recommended without consulting a doctor first. Mixing these two can increase serotonin levels in your brain, which can lead to a potentially dangerous condition called serotonin syndrome. So, do yourself a favor and chat with your doc before playing pharmacist.
No
It is generally not recommended to take 5-HTP and Vicodin together without consulting a healthcare professional. 5-HTP is a supplement that increases serotonin levels, while Vicodin is a prescription pain medication that contains hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Combining these substances could potentially lead to adverse effects or interactions, particularly affecting mood and sedation. Always consult with a doctor or pharmacist before mixing supplements and medications.
