IMPORTANT INTERACTION WARNING — please read before ordering. 5-HTP affects serotonin. Do not take this product if you are using antidepressants or any other serotonergic medication — including SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, tricyclics, triptans, tramadol, lithium, dextromethorphan or St. John’s Wort — without first speaking to your doctor or pharmacist. Combining serotonergic substances can cause serotonin syndrome, which is a medical emergency.
