hi, so recently I started taking

L tyrosine: 2,000mg a day.

5htp +b6 : 200mg a day

I've been taking the 5htp for about 2 weeks and l-tyrosine for maybe over a week. for about a week now I have had extreme hand pain that comes and goes, it's much worse in my left hand than it is my right but it's present in both of them . they don't feel weak at all, and only some things irritate them. I can go to the gym and lift weights just fine, I can play guitar just fine, but if I hit golf balls I can only hit about 20 before it becomes throbbing. I'm worried that taking the 5-HTP and l-tyrosine together has increase my serotonin levels too much and gave me EMS. I have no other symptoms though, and it's not like my hands even hurt while doing nothing. they feel fine until I press on certain areas of my hand that will irritate them a little bit. my hands are not swollen either. Is it possible with that dosage of those supplements I gave myself EMS?
