> I know of a lot of symptomes of serotonin syndrome such as euphoria, drowsiness, sustained rapid eye movement, overreaction of the reflexes, rapid muscle contraction, clumsiness, restlessness, feeling drunk and dizzy, shivering, diarrhea. etc. But I didn't think the stomach nausea I experienced was a symptome. Anyhow, I wil stop using 5-htp, cause it didn't give me any relief anyhow. Thanks again for your concern.

OK, Good. I'm glad you were aware and knew what you were doing. Some people who post aren't.
Take care,
Kara
