Hi All!
I am new here, so appreciate any responses.
I have been on Wellbutrin for a few years now (taking 150mg each morning). I have depression and strong family history of both depression and suicide. My mood has been unusually low for the last few months and I've been struggling with binge eating, so I have recently started taking 200 mg 5-HTP at bedtime. I have never had a problem with sleep, so I'm not taking it to aid in sleep.
Can someone help with these questions:
1. Is anyone else taking Wellbutrin and 5-HTP? Do these drugs work together?
2. What is be the best daily dosage of 5-HTP?
3. What is the best brand?
4. When is the best time to take it considering I don't need it for sleep?
5. Do you need to take breaks from the supplement on occassion?
6. What else should I take with the 5-HTP & Wellbutrin?
Again, thank you!
