Okay this may just be having another freak out. But I would really like some advice.

Yesterday morning, I took a 50mg pill of 5-htp. I was planning on starting that regiment. I took this around 8AM.

Around 9 PM that night I took a .5 mg Xanax and around 10:30-11:00 I took a 3mg Melatonin.

I woke up at around 2 and stayed awake until around 3:30 or so. I figured I could take another .5 mg Xanax since it says every 6 hours. So I did and fell back asleep.

When I woke up this morning for a split second I felt like I couldn't move. It's like I literally had to shout at myself in my brain to move.

This scared me to death and now I'm wondering if I have Seratonin Syndrome or overdosing on Xanax. Am I just being irrational?
 
Hi RedMan

I don't think you should worry :) You've followed the instructions and the recommended dosages.

You have perhaps just simply experienced sleep paralysis? It's quite common.
 
That was probably sleep paralysis. It happens to me now and again when I do not sleep well. If you google it you will find lots of info on it.
