50mg 5-HTP side effects

[SGsway]

Been taking 50mg of 5-HTP a day for past couple of weeks and felt quite a noticeable knock to the libido.

Also taking 500mg L-Tyrosine a day to balance serotonin/dopamine.

Does anybody know whether the side effects of 5-HTP get better over time?

Thanks.

I've never had an issue and I typically take 100MG pre bed. I would suggest taking a week or two off and see if the situation persists. It may be something else.

Thanks Jeff. You seem to know about 5-HTP. Do you think 50mg a day would be enough to interfere with dopamine production?

I'm thinking of taking the 50mg of 5-HTP with 500mg of Rhodiola Rosea, could be a good combo.
