While no interactions have yet been reported with tramadol and 5-HTP and L-tryptophan, taking 5-HTP and L-tryptophan with tramadol may increase the risk of tramadol-induced side effects, including seratonin syndrome. So there are no known real side effects or interactions with herbs...just be careful with the above 2.. The regular side effects of Zydol were just awful... maybe you can find an herbal alternative before hopefully doing the cleanse to get healthier! What is your deit like juju?
