I just recently started the french drug stablon. I decied to try this med for many reasons too lengthy to post at one time. What I am trying to find out is if I can take 5-htp concurrently with stablon as 5-htp really helped my sleep/pain issues. I can't seem to find out if "serotonin syndrome" is a possibility with a serotonin reuptake enhancer rather than the usual info about the inhibitors we get in the states. Any ideas?

I did it and there were no ill effects that I could detect.

Like you've said, Stablon ehances serotonin reputake, rather than inhibits it. I don't see why 5-HTP couldn't be taken- in fact, you may have to increase the amount you take. It's not completely known how Stablon works, so there is always the possibility of some interaction. It never hurts to be safe- take 1/10th of the 5-HTP dose you take, and work up to the effective dose.

I bought it from http://www.aurapharm.com/antidep.htmit's 45 USD per 60 12.5 tablets, at 3x per day it ain't so cheap, but the cheapest I found...took about 3 weeks to get here.
Thanks for the info folks, slowly adding the 5 htp sounds like a smart move

Ok, one more combo question...a while back I was prescribed Topamax for some pain issues. I never filled the script because the side effcts, particularily the cognitive ones seemed too much for me. Now however I am reconsidering using it and again can't seem to find out if you can mix stablon and topa. I did read one other post here where someone did. As I know many folks here have a science background or at least a good mind for science, Does anyone know which pathways these 2 drugs work on and if there should be any conflict based on that? I don't expect any results from the stablon for 2 weeks or longer...i just started today...as I understand some of the effects are supposed to be mild and culmulative, i'll keep y'all posted. Thanks
