Hi. I'm sorry to post incessantly on this topic. I started trying 50 mg 5HTP on Monday. Has anyone found that it actually increased depression??
I seem to have no motivation whatsoever. Any small task is herculean and I just want to curl up and sleep out of sadness and apathy. Getting nothing done isn't helping my mood.
Also I am freezing cold. I'm in the northeast, so we're chilly at the moment. I've got my thermostat set all the way to 66 (can't afford to set it much higher), and am wearing a down jacket inside. I've always been cold-blooded, but this is ridiculous. I'm starting to think that serotonin isn't the way for me to go, but maybe I just haven't been on it long enough?
Perhaps SJW might be a better option? This is a bipolar depression. I do have an MS in place.
An osteopath gave me a script for L-tryptophan, but I won't fill it until talking to my pdoc.
I MISS THE HOOVERMEISTER!!
Thanks.
Emme
