Allycat...I'm wondering how the 5-HTP worked for you. I've had to be away from the board for quite a while, so just now saw this post about the natural supplement you mentioned. I too suffer from chronic depression & am looking for something natural to try. Any advice you or anyone else can give would be greatly appreciated!
> ...My doctor had planned for me to start taking another AD called Lustral, but i refuse after going thru this! Instead i have done some research & found a natural amino acid supplement called 5-HTP..it works in a similar way to AD's in that it helps the brain to produce seretonin(the feel good hormone) U can buy it at the health food store, so i got myself some capsules & plan to start taking them as soon as i can...
