Okay guys,

I have my suspicions that this wouldn't be good for me but just double checking my thoughts along yours.

I bought some 5HTP about a week ago, and the other day my doctor decides to start me on Roaccutane (the acne drug, a synthetic Vitamin A)

Now I know Vitamin A is absorbed or whatnot by the liver, And I think 5HTP is also by the Liver (please tell me I'm wrong :p).

So I'm thinking 2 things going through the liver that are'nt food wouldn't be good. Especially as roaccutane is meant to be fairly harsh on the liver and you basically aren't meant to drink or take other things which may strain the liver.

So I'm thinking the 2 don't mix, correct?
 
Your liver metabolizes 99% of the stuff you ingest. This will not be a problem. Completely safe.
