In reply to Now try 5HTP with carbidopa if 5HTP alone failed?, posted by mikez on December 20, 2010, at 2:37:27
I have never heard from anyone that had a longterm good response to 5htp. Eventually all that serotonin just squashes out everything else, because the usual remedy is to add dlpa or tyrosine to it to restore the original goodness.
With supplements, taking them singularly is not likely to be of much meaningful benefit. These things work in harmony.
Carbidopa might work. That's what they claim is done in Europe. They think Americans have it all wrong by taking 5htp without it. So, maybe you can shed some light on it with personal experience.
