I've been taking 5-HTP daily for a little over a year now, and 2 days ago my doctor prescribed me trazodone. I didn't take it last night because I thought i could fall asleep fine without it and was kinda worried about this, but I took it the night before and woke up the next morning feeling euphoria, somewhere between a buzz and a high, which lasted 45 minutes or so. I'm usually lazy and don't do much other than smoke weed and play on my computer or hang out with friends, but I spent the first 4 or 5 hours of the day going through all my old clothes, sorting them out, and then driving them over to a homeless shelter because I was feeling productive (which i like never feel) and empathetic. I had the groggy, drowsy semi-hangover trazodone can cause too. I spent the next hour or two with my grandparents who were visiting from oregon (i live in virginia) and leaving soon. After they left I went to go smoke weed, but my neighbors were outside so I couldn't. I wanted to go do my homework, which I do twice a month at most, but I had school (im homeschooled in the evening) later that day and figured I shouldn't overwork myself cuz I'll get stressed out during school. Instead I went to play on my xbox, but after 20 or 30 minutes the urge to do something productive was too strong so I did like 2 hours of homework. After that I spent a whole 45 minutes making a sploof (makeshift device to hide the smell of weed when you smoke that takes 5 minutes to make). I added a bunch of stuff onto it that isn't really necessary just because it made me feel productive. After that I smoked then didn't do much for the rest of the night. I did some research on 5-HTP and trazodone interactions and it said it can cause serotonin syndrome. I also found a bluelight thread where someone said they felt euphoria the morning after taking trazodone, and they said they were taking 5-HTP too. They said it's probably because trazodone blocks you're serotonin receptors from absorbing serotonin and 5-HTP causes your brain to generate more serotonin so it builds up in your brain to the point of euphoria. If i remember correctly, that's what causes serotonin syndrome. Does anyone know any more about this? Am I at risk of having serotonin syndrome?
