Hi guys so I am currently taking 20mg of Amitriptyline at bed time for migraines.. I do not have any plans or thoughts of going off my Amitriptyline as my life has changed drastically since taking Amitriptyline. I used to get about 4-6 migranes a week now I get one every few months! I have recently seen a naturalist as I have had some issues with low labido since having children. He is aware of the medications I take daily but has given me 5-HTP/Griffonia starting at 50mg for the first 4 days then increasing to two does of 50mg per day of HTP. He did tell me not to take it at the same time as taking my Amitriptyline but I have done some resurch and from what I can see it is advising me not to combine these two pills at all?? Now I am concerned and wondering why I would have been told to take these two pills on a regular bases... should I not be taking them or are the doses low enough to combine them? I was concerned when I saw coma associated with taking both of these combined as well as to much saratonin can cause a problem. Any advise would be helpful thank you!

5 HTTP is good for Seratonin. I always take it before and after rolling at raves and stuff, boosts me really good after my levels get depleted from the high. I haven't heard that they are bad at all in regular or high doses over the long term or with stuff like Amithriptyline, so its probably fine, but I'm no expert.
