[QUOTE="Josie, post: 308553, member: 1792"] I haven't tried that particular combination but my daughter took 5 HTP and L-theanine at one point. The 5 HTP is supposed to be a precursor to serotonin and the L-theanine is supposed to be calming. L-theanine is what makes green tea supposed to be calming. I thought the 5 HTP was helping some at the time. I was taking her to a psychiatrist that used amino acids for treatment and unfortunately, he dropped her when it was discovered she had Lyme Disease. I didn't keep it up because she had to take a lot of other pills and it wasn't benefitting her enough to make a big deal over. I know you are supposed to avoid 5 HTP is you are taking an a/d. I'm not sure about the other medications your child is on. You could use a drug interaction checker or ask at a natural type pharmacy if you have one. Under that psychiatrist's care, my daughter was taking an a/d and the 5 HTP. I was comfortable with that when he was supervising, but not when he stopped. [/QUOTE]
