Re: Is this statement true (about 5-htp) ?

This is the same reason Parkinson's patients are given a decarboxylase inhibitor while taking L-Dopa. I personally consume 5-htp 2 or 3 times a week and can discern noticeable effects on mood and anxiety shortly after. This leads me to believe that a lot of it is crossing the blood brain barrier...or maybe it doesn't take a whole lot to get an effect? I don't know but I am concerned enough about it to not take it daily without a decarboxylase inhibitor. The same problems were encountered with Phen/Fen and I'm not willing to take the risk of daily ingestion.
