5-HTP & contraceptive pill

Hi all, does anyone know if 5-HTP has any effect on the pill??? Feeling low but dont want to go back on ADs, & know SJW doesnt agree with the pill. Any help greatly appreciated :-)

Chocolate, think it is just SJW that doesn't agree with the pill.
Try a high strengh Bvit complex, good high strength multivit, 1000mg vitC, some tryptophan at night and tyrosine in the morning.
Take the two amino acids with out food as they will compete with any other protein you eat.
Try and get hold of the Tryptophan rather then the 5HTP as it is better tolerated and won't make you feel woozy.
A good quality fish oil may also help.
Best of luck, hope you feel better soon.
