advice on 5 HTP

[Guest guest]

this is the only thing the boys were found to be deficient in on all the

stool/blood and urine tests. I stopped giving it this week as the anaethetist

was hot happy about it in conjunction with an anaesthetic. Is it a supplement

that needs to be taken long term? or is it something you give for a while and

then taper off?

The boys were on 300 mg a day but I am thinking of just giving 100mg a day to

start with and seeing if we need more. Seeing DR G at half term in 4 weeks time

so wondering what to do until then.

Thanks.
