5-HTP vs. L-Tryptophan

I take 400mg's of 5-HTP a day (200mg in the morning, 200 at night) and I'm thinking about trying L-Tryptophan. I just wanted ask a couple questions about it first.
I noticed that 5-HTP really keeps me in a good mood (like I should be) and I'm just better overall with it. I usually don't take any before I smoke weed because It makes me feel really dreamy and the high has a big body load. I noticed that If I take 5-HTP without having it for along time I feel really good and euphoric, So maybe I'm getting a tolerance?
So if I try L-Tryptophan, could it replace taking 5-HTP or would I not find it to work as good because it doesn't work as fast as 5-HTP or would it to be allot different than what I"M used too? And what dosage would I need to take to compare to 5-HTP?
Maybe I should just get both and use it to cut down on 5-HTP?
I'm also going to be trying MDMA hopefully this weekend and I don't plan on stopping on 5-HTP so the MDMA can have more serotonin to work with. So for the future is there any one thats better for preloading for MDMA?

Many people report that taking 5-htp the day they take MDMA negates the effects.

In reality, rolls and people's reaction to them are so variable that it's pretty much impossible to say with certainty that 5-HTP affects them in anyway

What are the negative effects of pure mdma anyway? Can't say I've ever experienced them...
I've experienced negative effects with mdma cut with trash...

I use 5-HTP after I roll to help with the comedown. I don't get bad comedowns anyways, but some of my friends do and it's also helped them.

Reports of this are wide spread enough to accept that it is the case for at least a significant portion of the population.

Most of the cases I've heard (and experienced first hand) indicate that 5-HTP improves the experience or at least helps to minimize the hangover afterwards. But there is no all encompassing study that indicates how 5-HTP and ecstasy react. It could be different for anyone in any case.

And so if it appears to be the case with at least a decent portion of the population that 5-HTP the day of negates the effects of MDMA, isn't it something worth mentioning when someone who has never done so specifically says they're going to?

Yea but you failed to mention the other possibilities. I felt those might be useful too.

For now I guess I'll stick to 5-HTP until I do more research. For the MDMA, since I'm getting 2 molly pills maybe I'll try skipping my nighttime dose of 5-HTP and then the next night I will take double my nighttime dose a few hours before taking the molly.
