5htp

Yep! I've been taking it every day since November and I had the most terrific winter in PA than ever! I have been able to get up earlier in the morning and look at things optimistically, like no other winter before.

I took it for a while a few years ago. The first day I took it, I was practically euphoric. For a while, it helped with the depression, but I started having panic attacks and just generally feeling more anxious than usual. I eventually stopped and now I've been taking 10mg of Lexapro for the past 2-3 years, which has pretty much changed my life. The doctor said that 5-HTP can be bad because instead of balancing your seratonin levels, it just raises it, so sometimes you end up with too much which can cause anxiety.

I do not take this, I am on Lexapro and so far it is working for me.

I have taken Prozac, Lexapro, Paxil, Zoloft, and Seroquel in the last 6 years. None of them seem to work for me after about 6 months or so. Now, I plan to try out something new. This is an all natural, herbal "suppliment" that is over the counter. Since I have been off all medications like that for 3 weeks now, it is safe for me to try out this herbal suppliment (I say that because it has St. John's Wart in it and you have to be careful what you mix it with) If you would like to read some information on the product I plan to try out soon... here is a link: http://www.rmbarry.com/research/moood_regulators.html Message me to let me know what you all think about this article.

No I take 20mg lexapro. I was on prozac but I switched.

i've taken it before, i don't think it would be as effective as a prescription medicine would be..i take 100mg of zoloft a day and i'm currently taking chantix to help curb my smoking habit
