| Summary
| |
| An amino acid that is the precursor to serotonin. 5-HTP is sold over the counter in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada as a dietary supplement for use as an antidepressant, appetite suppressant, and sleep aid. It is also useful in the recovery from certain psychedelics that drain serotonin such as MDMA (See ~drugs 5-HTP MDMA

| Half Life
| |
| The biological half-life of 5-HTP ranged from 2.2 to 7.4 hours, and the plasma clearance ranged from 0.10 to 0.23 1/kg/hour
| |
|
| |
| After-Effects
| |
| Minimal, slight depression/anxiety after repeated use
| |
|
| |
| MDMA
| |
| MDMA and 5-HTP are dangerous when done at the same time. However, 5-HTP can mean a world of difference for recovering from MDMA and other drugs.
| |
|
| |
| One must use 5-HTP AFTER your MDMA high fades and the dysphoric comdown begins. Wait AT LEAST 5-6 hours after the last dose of MDMA.
| |
|
| |
| The basis for doing this is that 5-HTP is a necessary precursor for the brain to produce more serotonin, and MDMA use depletes a person's natural serotonin levels, thus taking 5-HTP after consuming MDMA is speculated as helping improve serotonin production.
