I assume Serotone is a brand name? The generic name is just 5-HTP. Your 3 main choices in "herbal" anti-depressants are SJW, 5-HTP and SAMe.
SJW is usually a safe starting point because it has a low side-effect rate and the actual side-effects are quite mild if you do experience them. It's also cheap. 5-HTP is more effective for some people, and can be a logical starting point for people who have previously had success with a serotonin-enhancing drug.
I hope you find relief in whatever you choose to take.
