5-HTP increases stomach sensitivity, so one of the common side-effects is that you will get a "full" stomach, even if you eat just a little bit. This is why it is recommended to take it together with food. There are many 5-HTP user reviews discussing the effects. Some 5-HTP experiencies including stacking 5-HTP with other nootropics and substances.
 
Some combinations with 5-HTP could be lethal. Do not combine it with other antidepressant drugs or use it for cognitive enhancement without getting an approval from your doctor.

Anyone else experienced side effects from 5-HTP? About a year ago I went into serotonin syndrome as a reaction of taking it for 2 weeks. The side effects after were panic attacks, insomnia and generalized anxiety for the last 8 months... I have been trying L-Theanine to take the edge off, but nothing has really helped me recover from this too well.
