I use 5htp to help me sleep, and I just started taking hyroxycut hardcore which has some MAJOR neuro science behind it. [MuscleTech - Hydroxycut Hardcore - The Most Powerful Hardcore Fat Burner Ever Created](http://www.muscletech.com/products/hydroxycut_hardcore/index.shtml) Watch the animated explanation of how it works. The warnings say do not use if you are on an ssri, and I’m thinking that 5htp acts as an ssri to some extent (even though it’s naturaly converted in your insestines) I also think that the higher serotonin levels may further the effect of the hyroxycut due to the relationship of serotonin levels on norepinephrine. If i’m correct, they play of each other and if one is higher the other will be as well. That could also be a problem as the hyroxycut acts as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. 😕 😕 😕 😕 AHHHHH! Anyboy? ---

I didn’t find the post but a book I received today says about 5-htp that it **should NOT be taken with prescription anti-depressants (including st john’s wort) without the direct consultation of a doctor**. It’s because they increase serotonin levels and can lead to the **potentially dangerous condition known as SEROTONIN SYNDROME**. [Serotonin syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin_syndrome) ---

Every product on weight loss in the world says consult a doctor. Be cautious, try it and take it a day at a time. I mean really Toil what’s the worse that could happen? Oh wait DEATH, I doubt it but just go easy. You just came back and out of great selfishness you can’t go away that quick. ---

Good 'ole fashioned cardio and low calorie diet, screw the GNC crud. Half of the stuff you read about the products advertised in muscle mags is BS anyways. ---

Oh wait DEATH, I doubt it but just go easy. You just came back and out of great selfishness you can’t go away that quick. For sure, i’m watching out for any signs of problems. So far the only one is that when I stopped the 5htp, I was litteraly tossing and turning all night long until I was to worn out to stay away. I also got up and moved the to couch from my bed. I think my aqaurium running helps me fall asleep. > [@Pheraoh](#): > > Good 'ole fashioned cardio and low calorie diet, screw the GNC crud. Half of the stuff you read about the products advertised in muscle mags is BS anyways. I agree, but that has proven to not be enough, and muscletech is the leader in athletic performance products. They actualy do work. I’m down 3 lbs already, and that’s not in water. I may have to cut back if I keep losing weight at this rate. Yay finaly! I haven’t cut weight since I was in the hardest conditioning program in my state (wrestling in high school). No joke on that conditioning program either. I dropped 60lbs in one season. ---

I take a SSRI and Hydroxycut Hardcore. I have not had any adverse reactions. I recommend that you keep a snack with you, crackers or something, as your metabolism picks up, and when your stomach gets empty, you might get light headed. I dont consider that a problem, just a “side effect.” I wouldnt take any H. Hardcore after 5 PM or you will be up all night. Kirk
