Yes, 5htp could cause some anxiety at higher dosages much like SSRIs do when you first take them. Over time, I think, the anxiety will lessen as your body adjusts. Why the NAC? The problem I had with it is it affected my sleep, even at 600mg per day. Current use of NAC is possibly for Bipolar. There have been some studies done that it may be effective for Bipolar depression, but it takes a long time to go into effect. Interesting, though. Ashwaghanda might actually be helpful for your anxiety as well as help with sleep. Magnesium is definitely helpful for anxiety and depression, but in my experience, it is not enough. Vitamin B6 could be added to the magnesium to help with anxiety. It seems to help with my suspicious thoughts of other people, i.e. paranoia.
