I've an occasional serotonin depletion that is precipitated by other meds/supplements. For those times I take 50-100mg 5-HTP. I don't take this dose every day, but as needed, which usually is once every few days.

I'd try it, as-needed. The side effects of taking 5-HTP (or L-tryptophan) on a regular basis is likely going to be similar to what you've had with SSRIs.

When I am on the far side of serotonin depletion I start to get angry, stemming from frustration. Like to the point of wanting to hit my fist on a table, or smash the project I was working on. For me, this is something I've never experienced in my adult life; when life frustrates, I turn inward, isolate, turn off, etc. I never had any problems with anger, temper or aggression until I started to get this serotonin depletion.
