Carmela butterflyv 07-18-2004 @ 5:46 PM                              Member Joined: Jan. 2004 Please keep in mind that 5HTP is not to be mixed with most anti-anxiety drugs.  You can find out for sure by going to www.gnc.com, click on "Healthnotes" in the lefthand column and scroll down to use the "Safety Checker."

Carmela butterflyv 07-18-2004 @ 6:28 PM                              Member Joined: Jan. 2004 Yes, I have and so has my sister.  It seems to work pretty good.  I'd suggest building it up slowly like you do when you start a new med.   Carmela 07-18-2004 @ 6:38 PM                              Member Joined: Jul. 2004 Thanks! Are their any weird feeling(side effects)during or after?
