Larry--It is safe to take 5-HTP long-term?

Posted by Chris O on March 26, 2005, at 16:16:16

Larry:
I've been taking 200mg of 5-HTP a day for about two weeks with fair results for my physicalized anxiety symptoms. I was just wondering: Is it safe to take 5-HTP for long periods of time? I've read in various places that it can cause liver problems, kidney stones, or possibly, EMS-like symtoms when taken over long periods of time? Just wondering what your thoughts are on this.
Thanks,
Chris
