5-HTP and LSD question??

Apparently 5-HTP is a herbal drug that feeds your mind with the "good feel" chemical, Serotonin. LSD effects the levels of serotonin in your brain causing you to trip... so if i took both 5-HTP and LSD would it make me trip harder, less, or no different??

Could be possible in the sense that if you put more gas in the tank then the farther you would go but also you wouldn't be able to fit but a certain amount of gas into engine at one time so think of it as serotonin as gas and your brain as the engine... but honestly I have no idea but that sure dose sound plausible,but then again motors really cant be applied to the brain lol

Well, by dosing with 5htp, you are supplementing with serotonin, which is a serotonin receptor full agonist. LSD is a serotonin receptor partial agonist. Maybe the excess serotonin would compete with LSD for binding sites thereby producing a weaker effect by dose of LSD.

Achuma is right
LSD doesn't increase serotonin levels
Might just wanna google how LSD works in the brain

No. For the reason that 5-htp takes around 12 hours to convert to usable serotonin.
Some have found pre-loading a day or two in advance with 5-htp brings back visuals and/or lowers the dose for visuals with mushrooms. LSD should be no different in that regard. Others find it of no use.

so if you supplement with it regularly for weeks lets say, in advance for the trip, will it increase the strength of the trip? why/why not?
and would supplementing while coming down help your serotonin levels stay healthy? i'm confused by how serotonin itself affects an lsd trip if it's the serotonin receptors that receive the lsd and react accordingly? would taking 5htp help keeps these receptors healthy as well as increasing saratonin?
i'm very confused by this but i'm really interested in learning more if anybody could explain in simple terms.

I would like to know, I'm in the same boat...
How much would it affect an elesdee trip if you've been taking 5HTP for a couple months?
