Hey Tophur,

If you do a Google Custom Search at the upper right hand corner of the page (entering 5htp), it pulls up posts where 5HTP has been talked about.

Long ago, in a cycle far, far away (before Relpax and O2) I tested several drugs not readily available from the pharmacist.  I'll save my 2 cents on whether or not they're any worse/better than pharmaceuticals with FDA approval for another thread.

Here is what I found:

Marijuana, as I'm sure others have found out the hard way, was a trigger rather than an abortive.

MDMA:  I have to say, that while on MDMA I had zero attacks.  Not only that, I was pain free for 1-2 days afterward.  However, it should be noted that I tested each ecstasy tablet I ingested with a kit to determine what exactly was in it... if it tested positive for anything other than MDMA I didn't take it.

Cocaine: Much like MDMA I was pain free after ingestion.  Again, all substances were tested before ingestion.  Unlike MDMA, however, I wasn't pain free the next day.  I would hypothesize that this was probably due to the topical anaesthetic nature.

I'm by no means advocating the use of these substances.  Personally I find cocaine to be a disgusting drug.  And MDMA, like any drug that messes about with the serotonin, can have several serious side effects.

Just my personal experience, for what it's worth.
