Do you get dependent on them? If you take a couple, do they fix your imbalance or would you have to take them everyday? How is it different to a psychedelic drug in its serotonin use, will I feel like shit the next day if I take a supplement like I do when I take ex? What are the side effects? Do you like them?
I've never taken them, but I'm rather interested in the answers to your questions too, it's something I've been considering taking.
I have heard its not good to take with any drug, and it's good for taking to get your mood back a day after you take a drug that depletes your system like acid shrooms or especially mdma.
ACID AND SHROOMS DO NOT DEPLETE YOUR BRAIN OF ANY SEROTONIN, ONLY MDMA DOES. IN FACT YOU FEEL BETTER THE DAY AFTER A TRIP To answer your question, you probably wouldn't become dependant on them, I can't say for sure though becuase their action is similar to SSRI's, and you will become dependant on SSRI's (the reason you have to taper off of them). Perhaps it would be a good idea to taper off instead of going cold turkey. I have read this many places though, that if you are taking daily doses of 5 htp that will decrease the effects of psychedelics (just like SSRI's do)
