i actually did quite a bit of reading into carbidopa as an answer to this problem, but was deterred by the strong possibility of relatively serious side effects of combining it w/ 5htp. do you know of any other decarboxylase inhibitors; or perhaps its the combination of a decarboxylase inhibitor in general, and 5htp, causing the side effects? will do a bit more research into this... thank you!
