lol you can't seem to get rid of me here. I use 5htp a little bit on nardil. it works well at the proper dose to "numb" the mood, so to speak. I combine it, when i use it, with a tiny bit of tyrosine in the morning then the 5htp at night. Any overstimulation you get from tyrosine will be blocked by 5htp. Just be careful of 5htp...high doses will give you tinnitus, racing heart, sweating, headache, insomnia (although you will feel sleepy)...makes you feel worn down in a way. Tiny doses of augments when you play with maois to start.
