I don't think there is any risk of EMS from 5-htp. EMS was associated with some bad batches of (a related substance) tryptophan back in the 90's. Tryptophan is back on the market (at least in Canada) as an alternative.
The only thing I would watch is the combination of 5-htp with an SSRI can cause a potentially life threatening condition called serotonin syndrome. Basically this is caused by excessive serotonin neurotransmission throughout the body.
I have used 5-htp with SSRIs but only very small amounts of 5-htp. 5-htp alone is perfectly safe to use.
Gaba has been helping my anxiety and mood.
