all i found on the site was this
"AT WHAT AGE IS IT APPROPRIATE TO USE 5-HTP?
When used as directed, 5-htp can be safe at any age. Some studies show that children receiving 5-HTP as treatment for headaches improve greatly, but you should always consult a physician before giving 5-HTP to a child. 5-HTP may also be good choice for elderly people."
source: http://www.5htpdirect.com/5-htp/5htpfaq.html#three
the natural pharmacist says:
"Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, and those with liver or kidney disease has not been established (although, in some studies children have been given 5-HTP without any apparent harmful effects)."

so that seems ok for the 5-htp, but as for rolling at age 15? well, i'm certainly not going to tell you what to do, all i can say is be very careful, and the simple fact that you are already using 5-htp is a credit to your caution.
usually at age 15 your body has not finished developing, and this means your brain too. so using MDMA could upset the balance of your brains neurochemistry before its properly settled.
i can only suggest that if you wish to keep using MDMA you keep your body, and mind, at its healthiest. This means continuing to use 5-htp and other pre/post load supplements as well as generally having a healthy diet full of the vitamens you need.
also remember that MDMA tolerance begins with your very first roll. The first time will always be your best, and everytime after that will be incrementaly less good.
so by begining early and using too much, you might "peak" too early and spend the reast of your life wishing youd kept some serotonin for later!
