    Summary

    The precursor to serotonin. In some countries it is sold OTC as a supplement for mood stabilisation and insomnia. It is frequently used as a recovery supplement following the use of MDMA or any other drug that depletes serotonin. Do not mix this drug with anything serotonergic, as this can cause serotonin syndrome.

    ⚠️ AVOID: Anything which interacts with serotonin. Including SSRIs, MAOIs, DXM, MDMA (during or before)
    ⚠️ Do not take this while on a serotonergic drug, only afterwards. Wait at least 12 hours following the last dose in the case of MDMA.
