Im looking into an ssri alterative. I take zoloft, and i cannot take the sexual side effects, and you cannot even have a few beers without passing out. I ordeed 5htp 50mg with b6 added. Should 5htp be take with or without food? Starting 50mg for a week, then go up to 100mg. I will fist wean off zoloft then start 5thp.

I've heard it's best to take it in the morning before breakfast. You can have a little juice or bread but no protein. Probably best on an empty stomach. I've taken it at different times (always several hours after eating or before breakfast). It gives me a rash (as I posted above) so I'm probably not going to take it anymore. Has worked on and off okay but I had to take more to feel the effects and wasn't sure about side effects at that level.
