How do you buy the tryptophan? Wasn't it a controlled supplement? Can this be used with Lexapro? (Sorry again for the lack of knowledge.)> I take the 5htp with the lithium.
How do you buy the 5htp? Is it a prescription too? Thanks for your patience. I am more than a little hopeful now that I read this information.
