My first go with 5-HTP was with "NOW" brand. I felt wonderful for about two to three weeks on it. Then I got feeling depressed again. A dose increase didn't help nor did a dose decrease. When the bottle was finished, I bought a different brand "Doctors Choice" as recommended by another memember here. I've been taking this new one for about one week and my depression is not so good. No improvement at all. I'm worried that 5-HTP has pooped out and changing brands or dose is not going to matter. I'm not sure what to do now. I tried SJW for about three months prior with no positive results. It also pooped out after the initial go.

Hate to disappoint you, but as the Now Foods brand is pharmaceutical grade 5-HTP, it's probably poop-out.

Try going off it completely for awhile, this has worked for me. Increasing the dosage has helped me as well (altho you say above this didn't help, I think). You might try rotating it with SJW or Sam-e on a regular basis...
