has 5-HTP messed up my brain long-term?

[minivanman]

I used to get anxiety a lot. Then I took 200mg 5htp daily for one month. I now have NO anxiety whatsoever! However, I also feel no emotions at all anymore. I feel no motivation, no libido, and all the things that used to give me joy now do not make me feel anything. I have been off 5 htp for 3 weeks. I feel no different yet. I'm guessing my serotonin is now too high, and seems to have remained high even after stopping the 5 htp. What do I do? Is it reasonable to think it takes longer for things to get back to normal? Perhaps a few months?

Your brain takes a while to level out all its neurotransmitting chemicals after you stop. I highly doubt you ruined brain give it a few months, and steer clear of drugs that effect serotonin or dopamine levels while your brain tries to find baseline again
