"SJW and 5-HTP had side effects. What next?" , Thu 7 Jul 10:29

I took a small dose of SJW a couple of years ago and found that I had terrible headaches, skin irritation and heightened anxiety- even if I halved the capsule or used a tinniture. Even after a fortnight things got no better so I stopped.

I have just stopped taking 5-HTP because of the side effects. I started on 25mg (halved capsule) and took that for a fortnight- didn't notice any improvement in depression/anxiety. So I upped to a full capsule and witnessed some scary side effects; I felt like my throat was closing over and this didnt help my asthma at all, 3 days later I am using my inhaler more than normal. I also felt nausea, very cold, tired and had awful joint pain. Has this happened to anybody else?

I am not taking antidepressants, is there anything you can recommend for me to try. I live in the uk.
