Just a quick note about 5-HTP...do not take it at the same time as your anti-depressants. It can cause "serotonin syndrome", which is characterized by sleepiness, lack of energy, and sometimes loss of consciousness and convulsions. Kinda dangerous
So, if you want an alternative to your anti-depressants, it's best to switch and not take it alongside the 5-HTP.
Just sayin'
