5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is generally considered safe for short-term use in moderate doses, often used for mood enhancement and sleep improvement. However, it can cause side effects like gastrointestinal issues, drowsiness, and in some cases, serotonin syndrome, especially when combined with other medications that affect serotonin levels. It's important to consult a healthcare professional before starting 5-HTP, especially for those with existing health conditions or who are taking other medications. Long-term safety data is limited.

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.

Can I take Ativan with 5htp?
I have been taking 5-htp daily for the past 6 months along with 1mg lorazepam when I need it. I usually take the lorazepam an hour or two after my 5-htp dose and have not noticed any negative effects whatsoever. However, I can't say confirm it is 100% safe to do this.
Can you take Concerta and 5-HTP?
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
Can you take adderall tenex and 5htp together?
I take 30 mg of Adderall XR daily (except weekends). I've been taking 5htp as well to stabilize my moods. I haven't had any problems and I feel like I have been sleeping better in addition to having more stable moods. I noticed that I was becoming easily aggravated, angry and had almost no patience. I take 200mg of 5htp every day in the morning, with my multi and my Adderall and I haven't noticed any negative side effects. I've only been doing this for about two weeks however. I am unsure of the long term effects.
