Does 5htp have any dangerous interactions with alcohol ?

[bignbrown]

theres nothing on the tub that says no, its been 4 hours or so since i took 100mg 5htp (for depression caused by a midweek mdma binge).


I feel like having 3-4 beers but im worried about getting serotonin syndrome or something lol.

Some people claim that there shouldn't be a problem, but others say that they have experienced seizures, etc. because of mixing the two.

Also:

You should allow at least a 6 hour gap between intakes of alcohol and 5 HTP.

5-Htp should not be used with alcohol, Parkinson's medications, weight loss medications, anxiety medications, barbiturates or chemotherapy drugs to avoid possible adverse reactions.
