RE: Harm Reduction: A Guide to the MDMA House Party
does taking the 5-HTP have any side effects? and can you buy that OTC? Good read. Resteemed and followed.

5-HTP is generally known to be a mood enhancer, as it is a precursor for 5-HT (Serotonin). Taken too close to the intended time of dose, 24hrs previous generally, it can hamper the effects a bit. I found it shortened and lessened any feeling of 'bleh' after the fact mostly. No real side-effects were noticed by me, myself. Still, always do your own research when possible.
fantastic. I will try this out for sure. Will do some research on it of course. Not sure if its even available where I am living as they are pretty strict about any kind of pharmeceutical. Either way, anything to get rid of the 'bleh' afterwards, is worth it. Just had a thought that if I pumped my body full of serotonin afterwards, then my brain might get confused and stop secreting more, which would make my 'bleh' phase just hit even later.
5-HTP doesn't pump serotonin, it just helps your brain re-make the amount it needs faster. No way to over-do it so long as you take the regular amount.
Here in the US, it is available at GNC or other similar stores.
Oh ok gotcha. That makes sense and allevitates what I was worried about. Cheers for your advice. Happy trails mate.
