I've just started 5-HTP and I like it alot so far. Its like a thick heavy blanket has been lifted off of me. I feel in control now; how cool! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows how this interacts with alcohol and/or marijuana. Also, I saw a previous post about not taking it for more than 3 months; why is this? Is it safe to take 400 mg daily?

I took 500mg of 5htp everyday for 2 years with out any side effects other than the "tiredness". It did not loose it's effectiveness like some say about sjw, which is the only reason I have heard to stop after 3 months, take a month off and then start again. From what I have read it is safe up to 900 mg/day. From my experience with 5htp and alcohol, I would say that I felt like I had better control over the amount of alcohol I drank. No experience with pot.
By the way I no longer suffer from depression.

Well all I can say is that I take 300mg and it is great for me too. I also take 500mg of L-Tyrosine and find it a good combination.
You should always treat 5-HTP with the same respect as any perscription drugs but.... I must say that I have found drinking in moderation has been Ok whereas when I took Seroxat/Paxil I found that drinking affected me quite badly. I did used to take pot awhile ago to help me to sleep but I found that it caused me more problems ie. anxiety/panic/depression and so I won't go near it anymore.
Hope it stays good for you :>)
Cheers
