I have drunk mostly organic red wine every evening for more than 20 years, but feel pretty awful drinking it since I began taking 5-HTP @ 50-100 mg per day. Note that my dose is part of a nutritional formulation that includes GABA, Passion flower and linden flowers. I also take a purple mushroom medley, plus cat's claw with maitake and inositol. Cutting back and n the wine would be good, as I feel agitated sometimes and very foggy, if I drink within the 5 hour period recommended to wait before touching alcohol. 5-HTP is used to wean alcoholics off the beverages, so I must be creating issues for myself by drinking at all.
