Can 5-htp make eye twitch?

Question: Can 5-htp make eye twitch?

Answer: From all the information I’ve reviewed it appears that 5-HTP alone does not cause eye twitching. However, if taken with other medications or supplements especially those that act on the nervous system or serotonin levels such as SSRIs a variety of neurological side effects can occur and twitches could possibly result. If you’re taking the 5-HTP supplement by itself it’s more likely that something else is causing your eye twitch.
