L-tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptophan in the treatment of depression. A review. |

| Authors: | G d'Elia L Hanson H Raotma |
| Abstract: | Trials performed do not provide evidence for an antidepressant effect of 5-HTP. L-TP, without interacting pharmaca, does not appear to be a well-documented antidepressant. The only convincing evidence for L-TP as an antidepressant is that L-TP enhances the effect of MAOI. |
