I rolled two nights ago (tested gear) and have bought some 5-HTP to guard away the Tuesday blues. However, I also take Turmeric as a herbal supplement.
I took 1.44 grams of Turmeric a few hours ago, will it be safe for me to take 5-HTP in a couple of hours, before going to sleep?
I've found a couple of reports of people who have supposedly suffered from serotonin syndrome after combining Turmeric with SSRI's. This is suspected to be linked to Turmeric working as a MAOI. Having said this, I consumed some Turmeric the day after my roll, and nothing bad happened (in fact, I went out again sober last night and had a whale of a time!).
I apologize if this question appears silly or redundant, however my knowledge in neurochemistry is awfully vague, and I would rather be safe than sorry.
Thank you in advance. Happy rolling
