5-htp and Imitrex?

I am currently taking 5-htp for depression and I own just this minute be prescribed Imitrex for migraines. I one and only necessitate to pocket the Imitrex a couple of times a month, but I hear you shouldn't embezzle St. John's Wort next to Imitrex because the Imitrex have serotonin in it and you can gain serotonin syndrome. So I be wondering if it is duplicate for 5-htp and Imitrex? I really don't want to enjoy to stop taking the 5-htp and I really requirement a migraine medication!

Answers:
Sumatriptan is structurally similar to serotonin, and is a 5-HTP (5-HT1D) agonist, which is one of the receptors to which serotonin binds. 5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin. I estimate the combination of taking 5-HTP and Imitrex is a awfully doomed to failure perception and is a short time ago asking for serotonin syndrome. You may call for to consider alternative migraine treatment. Discuss your specific circumstances beside a headache specialist, they hold several other amazingly efficient therapy for migraines.
