Overview
•5-HTP can cause drowsiness and stomach upset, so taking it at night with food may be better tolerated.
•Avoid combining this product with SSRIs, MAOIs, St. John's wort, dextromethorphan, or other serotonergic drugs due to serotonin syndrome risk.
•Use extra caution if you have a cardiac condition, as serotonergic supplements may not be appropriate without medical supervision.
•Not recommended in pregnancy or while nursing, and the label also advises against use under age 18.
•Do not drive or operate machinery if it makes you sleepy; alcohol may worsen sedation.
•Gelatin capsule means it is not suitable for vegetarians/vegans and may matter for those avoiding animal-derived ingredients.
