Now try 5HTP with carbidopa if 5HTP alone failed?

Hi, I have done a few trials of 5htp alone and they have all failed... a few times i got very nauseous , but there were a couple good days where i had energy and slept great. It was too inconsistent though, and in the end had to go back on SSRI.
I have some levodop which is l-dopa and carbidopa combined. ( i respond great to dopamine, so side effects, besides insomnia, from l-dopa isnt an issue)
was wondering if anyone has tried the 5HTP with the carbidopa, to ensure most of it is converted to serotonin inside the brain , not outside, which could theoretically give a better response to some people. ..
Do you think its worth retrying 5HTP with the carbidopa I have now? That way i will get the dopamine hit, the serotonin hit and the carbidopa from the drug will ensure the 5htp mainly converts inside the blood brain barrier.
Thanks so much!
