I have been taking some natural supplements lately, one of which contains a small amount of 5-HTP (as well as DL-Phenylalinine and L-Glutamine). It ends up being about 20mg - 5HTP, 1,200mg - DL-Phenylalinine and 600mg - L-Glutamine daily. I also have been taking about 1,500mg of L-Tyrosine daily.
My question: I want to add an extra 25mg of 5-HTP taken at night to help me sleep since it has been taking me about an hour to an hour and half to fall asleep. However, I take 25mg of nortriptyline at night (just reduced from 50mg). Is there any danger adding 25mg of 5-HTP? I take the nort at about 6:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m., and was thinking of taking the 5-HTP around 9 or 9:30.
Thanks.
