Try a herb called 5htp also
Raises serotonin

5htp is not an herb. It is a metabolite of L-Tryptophan, and everything I've read says it doesn't easily cross the blood-brain barrier which is necessary for raising serotonin levels. I prefer to stick with what I know will work. 5htp became the replacement for tryptophan when tryptophan was banned so we'd all be forced to take SSRIs for mood disorders. Tryptophan works, and it doesn't carry all the weight gain and loss of libido, etc. that SSRIs do which is why big pharma needed it off the market and the FDA obliged.
