> oops I guess it was on someone's list. The fact that low serotonin levels and OCD are often associated would make me want to try 5HTP before I tried anything else personally. Good luck to all!
I have it on this ADD list because there are those who are ADD-OCD co-morbid which Amen calls "Overfocused ADD". Also it is conceivable that supplementing exclusively with L-tyrosine might drive serotonin down, so one may want to try for a balance of L-tyrosine/5-HTP (like what I'm doing now, idea curtosey of Larry and his link to NeuroResearch).
