What are the side effects from 5HTP?

I bought this stuff called htp from cvs last night. has anyone taken this and what kind of side effects have you had? how much should you take at one time of this stuff? I have had alot of nausea since last night. I took 100mgs this morning at 9:30 and it is now 11:45 and i am still nauseated.

Hi,

Some sources suggest that 5 HTP can be safely used as a nutritional supplement at a dosage of up to 100 milligrams (mg) per day.

However, in any excess it can cause cardiovascular disease (high blood pressure, stroke, etc.)

It can also cause nausea and diarrhea :(
