FOG OFF contains 5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan), which may increase serotonin levels. Do not use this product if you are currently taking SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, triptans, or other serotonergic medications without first consulting your healthcare provider. Combining 5-HTP with these medications may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially serious condition. Do not take If you are pregnant.
