Hi there,
I don't have any experience on the subject, but I read a TON of stuff from this forum called "chemical anarchy".

Just type "htp" into the search field and you should get a ton of results. They have some interesting discussions regarding whether products like htp and tryp are bad for some people because the serotonin they produce stay in the blood stream.
Incidentally, I'm trying Theanine, which, like 5-htp, is suppose to increase serotonin in your system. Like you, I'm also having weird reactions even though most literature tauts Theanine as "completely safe" and "calming."
Keep posting and hopefully together we will find something that will work for us. =)
