> Does anyone know if 5-HTP can be taken with Wellbutrin XL? I know that 5-HTP is not supposed to be taken with SSRI's because of the possibility of serotonin syndrome, but seeing as how Wellbutrin doesn't work on the serotonin is it safe?

i routinely take 5-htp with my ssri and have not had any problems - in fact, there are several studies which say you should do exactly that!
ive seen two studies that show there is no increased risk of serotonin syndrome taking up to 2-4 grams of tryptophan (or the equivalent amount of 5-htp) along with an ssri and, in fact, taking such may greatly enhance the efficacy of the ssri.
