Not that I'm aware of (but I haven't checked either). Thought you might know. I take it everyday just to help keep the serotonin cupboard stocked. I have heard anecdotally that it helps with depression; depression, of course, linked with low serotonin levels. It is frequently taken by users of ecstacy (MDMA) to offset the serotonin depletion that accompanies that substance use.
