5htp was OK for me. I used 200mgs time-release tablets (probably not necessary, but I thought it'd be easier on my stomach). I took one in the AM and one in the PM. It worked OK. But...now, I'm on the psych drugs, including lamictal (apparently may affect serotonin) and wellbutrin (new research shows some effect on serotonin), so...not so much.

If you're not any serotonin-boosting medications, then it may well be a good idea. My 400mgs/day dosage was OK for me, but then I did a search on the doses used in actual studies (most of which were small and the data quality wasn't great, but...that's true of a lot of psychiatric research...), and they sometimes used 600, 900+ mgs/day. That struck me as kind of intense, but...I guess better 900mgs/day 5HTP than 200mgs/Zoloft, right? Right.

Hope this helps, and I hope you can find something to get you up to 100%.
