Harm Reduction 5-htp - how long before i can drink alcohol?

[Jabberwocky]

Hey everyone on BL!

I just started a little experiment with 5-htp. I will take 50 mg daily (in the morning) as I could really need something to help me deal with my depression and anxiety but I do not want to try SSRI/SNRI drugs.

I just have one problem with this due to the fact that I like to have a beer or 2 somedays. But how long does I have to wait before drinking then taking 5-htp in the morning around 10:00 am? Iv done a lot of research and quicky it became clear to me that a lot of people have experienced problems with this combination, I just cant find anything about how long a gap there has to be between taking the 5-htp and having a drink.

Does anyone know or have personal experience that they will like to share?

If, for example, you choose to have one or two beers in the evening, you shouldn't ( I speak from experience here) have any problems. However, DO NOT consume large amounts of alcohol within 6 hours of dosing on 5HTP, I read it leads to unpleasent things such as black-outs.
