It says low doses of 5HTP can increase the effectiveness of your antidepressant and that GABA supplements can help calm you.
Have you tried any of these?

Coincidentally I have been using both of those for about three months.
I didn't want to take Zoloft again, so I tried The 5HTP and GABA instead. (I did not take the Zoloft at all but took GABA and 5HTP together)
Taken together was too much for me. So I just took the GABA 750 (1 capsule per day). That
actually works well for me so far. The 750 seems high to me but that was the only dosage I could find at the store here. But the 5HTP, I can only take one capsule per week. If I take more than that, too much anxiety.
I really don't know what would happen if taking the anti-depressants and the supplements together. I am not brave enough to try that.
