In Conclusion
It is important that you talk to your doctor before taking 5-HTP supplements especially if you are already taking serotonin-enhancing medications. Your doctor is the best person who can identify possible drug interactions when taking these kinds of medications.
It is also worth noting that 5-HTP is not only recommended for the treatment of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. The supplement can also be included as a part of a larger treatment regimen that also includes some other supplements and drugs, as well as other medical approaches.
