Hey everyone I'm currently taking pm amino acids to help me sleep at night after coming off 10mg of Amitriptyline ( for sleep). The dose I am taking contains 200mg of 5htp. I wake up feeling nauseas in the morning and I'm wondering if it could be the 200mg of 5htp?

    Hi Tiffany,

     I’ve taken  5htp 200mg before and never had a problem.  Although everyone has different reactions to medications. Is this the only medicine you take for nighttime? If you suspect this pill is making you sick, ask a doctor if theres another amino acid that you can take instead of 5htp.
