In reply to 5-htp works but..., posted by linkadge on August 7, 2006, at 17:43:20
I don't think it's possible to know unless there have been studies regarding 5-HTP and this problem. I don't even know if 5-HTP is even suspected of causing any damage to neurons.
There's a lot of variables really. If 5-HTP caused eventual damage to serotonin neurons or production would the body recover or not? That we can't say. It all depends on what's happening in the brain and the method of action of each supplement.
Cannabis and Ecstacy are alledged to permanently alter the brain, yet there are many users of these drugs that don't suffer any serious problems, not that I advocate taking these drugs.
I'm guessing your question is very difficult to answer :(
