> I guess I had what you might call a serotonin syndrome when I first tried 5-HTP a few weeks ago. I was real sick, teeth non-stop chattering, hypomanic.
The chattering teeth are a big telltale sign. I'm glad it was a brief and relatively mild episode and hope that you don't have to go through it again. Extreme cases can cause seizures, extremely high fever, delirium, and even death.
