I tried 100mg of 5-htp the other day on top of my antidepressants (effexor remeron), and I felt really good, almost too good. The next day I had diarrhea, since serotonin increases motility in the colon. I had to quit taking prozac after a few weeks because the runs were getting out of control - sorry for the gross details, but I think it shows that 5-htp really does help boost serotonin, and it should be added to antidepressants cautiously if at all.
