Misc 5-HTP flatulence diarrhea & bad come down

[james125]

I have tried taking a dose of;

200mg 5-HTP
6mg Pantothenic acid
2mg Vitamin B6

It resulted in a pretty good high a bit like being on MDMA. I was constantly smiling but not gurning. So presumably the 5-HTP was metabolised into serotonin. However at the end of the high and the next day I had very bad flatulence and diarrhea. I do have quite an irritable bowel and am quite susceptible to this. I also felt very bad the next day slow depressed and trouble thinking. Is this normal?

I have heard that serotonin in the gut makes the intestines work faster which can cause diarrhea and flatulence stomach pains etc. Is there anyway to inhibit serotonin in the gut or some other way stopping these negative side effects?

Thanks

Unless you have access to drugs like carbidopa, nope.

Wait, so let me get this straight.. 5-HTP (a self-limiting precursor to 5HT production) and B vitamins made you feel like you were on MDMA.. have you even done MDMA?

I only know that I have tried MDXX from the Marquis test, it was sold as MDMA but I can not be sure. Maybe 3g total in the last year. But yes 5-HTP made be feel happy and sociable, almost better than MDMA but I usually always take too much MDMA and have a bad time.

5-htp will help people that is trying to kick a opiate addiction. I bought some and only took it for a few days in the beginning to try to help with my wd. It really didn't do anything for me.

You should rethink you diet if 5htp makes you feel like your on mdma.... Maybe eat some turkey. Or the placebo is strong in you. You shouldnt be feeling depressed and sluggish the next day. then again you shouldnt have a high either.
