5htp is a good, natural herbal based anti-depressant. Many pharmaceutical anti-depressants increase your chances of weight gain. If you are losing weight on 5htp it is probably just because you are feeling better and not eating as much comfort food. It is not a good idea to take the remedy for weight loss alone.
