“The L-5-HTP –induced cortisol and PRL responses were significantly higher in fluoxetine-treated than in tricyclic-treated or unmedicated major depressed patients.”
“Treatment with the 5-HT precursor 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) restored 5-HT tissue content in mutant mice, and cotreatment with 5-HTP and fluoxetine essentially prevented the depleting effect of a chronic SSRI.”
“Pretreatment with fluoxetine (10 mg/kg, ip) significantly potentiated the behavioural syndrome induced by dextromethorphan and 5-hydroxytryptophan but significantly antagonised dexfenfluramine induced behavioural syndrome.”

“Under the same conditions, the effect of 5-hydroxytryptophan was enhanced during the first 19.5 min after the FLX injection; thereafter, inhibition developed gradually.”
“Elevation of serum corticosterone, measured as a functional output of hypothalamic 5−HT pathways, was greater in rats treated with fluoxetine plus LY206130 or with fluoxetine plus L−5−HTP than in rats treated with the agents alone.”

“Brain microdialysis studies showed that the same combination of 5-HTP and fluoxetine also produced a marked potentiation of the increase in the extracellular serotonin concentration in the thalamus of freely-moving GEPR-9s when compared with administration of either drug alone.”

“Pretreatment with fluoxetine or cocaine potentiated the head-shake response to the 5-HT precursor, 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP; 75 mg/kg), a behavior mediated by the activation of 5-HT2 receptors.”
“On day 13, ketanserin and pCPA had no effect on serum prolactin levels, but after increasing serotoninergic transmission by injecting fluoxetine and 5-hydroxytryptophan , serum prolactin levels were decreased.”
“The … of fluoxetine … 5-hydroxytryptophan (FLX/5-HTP) caused an initial increase in prolactin secretion with plasma values returning to basal levels by 4 h. When rats … pretreated with FLX/5-HTP instead of morphine, the prolactin response to an injection of morphine 4 h later was not attenuated.”
