Hello, I would be very careful of taking 5HTP with an anti-depressant because of serotonin syndrome.
There have been reports of a lot of doctor's augmenting inositol along with the use of SSRI's to resensitize serotonin receptors and to make them "sharper" and more receptive so to speak, so that may be an option for you.
As far as the fish oil goes, how long have you been on it? How long since you have started feeling depressed again? Do you think there could be a connection between the two?
I know a lot of people use fish oil for depression, but when I tried it fish oil made my depression much worse believe it or not. I would feel worse even hours after taking a fish oil pill. Might be something to think about...good luck
