I think it is cool that your doctor is open to you trying it. I don't think it is really harmful to take these supplements if you aren't already on some sort of psy-meds. I do recommend trying a good multivitamin and probably B-complex and C. Can't hurt.I should also add that I thought I was dealing with straight depression when I tried the 5-htp and tyrosine; since then my current doc and I think I'm bipolar II, so that may make a difference too.
Good luck.
