Has anyone here tried 5-HTP? I LOVE the effects of it, but I've heard that after a while it can negatively affect the body? :(

Yes, if taken daily for a while it could have an effect on the hearts rhythm. try to alternate it with another thing like L-Tyrosine or Tryptophan

It is not recommended to use it in combination with other medication.

For anxiety, depression, ocd.

What about Saffron or Thianine? I've heard that Tryptophan can make you tired

I've tried Rhodiola and Prozac but hate the side effects :/

It is not recommended to take anything with anything. 

OP- Theanine is good, I get mine from powdercity for cheap. Try researching NALT/L-Tyrosine. Stay away from GABAergics. And yes it might make you tired, 5-HTP does that ;D usually any relaxant (anxiety is mostly reduced when relaxed personally) will make you tired

Lmao go away dude. Before I be the bigger man and ignore you, I recommend it because being a little tired is better than having racing thoughts and a negative mood, which would have an impact on various other things.
