Adding something serotonergic (if you think thats what you really need) is probably a better option. Tryptophan has already been mentioned, or you could try 5-HTP. Trazodone might be worth adding at bedtime. But be carefull with these if you're still on Emsam (are you?) especially if on a high non-selective dose.

No - I have been off Emsam for about 3 weeks. I'm not actually sure if I like Despiramine because I am depressed and it is making me fevered & sweaty at night. So, I stopped taking it. I feel suicidal without serotonin.
