Can anyone help, I have been taking 5htp for nearly 3 months with an overall improvement on my moods and sleeping. I had been taking sleeping tablets for years and detoxed myself off the damn things. I have read that you should stop 5htp after 3months, I am worried now about not sleeping and my depression and wondered if I should switch to SJW. Is there any side effects with weight as I'd hate to gain weight. Any information would be great thanks a worried pixy xx

5-HTP is classed as an SSRI, SJW is classed as an MAO, I'd try and find out if you need healthy time gap or washing out period between the two, otherwise I don't think there is a problem with weight gain.
SJW is great for treating alcoholism, brilliant as a sleep remedy too.

Thanks floyd I'll ask today in the health food shop as I feel low today and not sure whats happening. The 5htp worked for a while but seems to have lessened over the past few weeks. The feeling of wanting to run and hide has returned, so hence why I started to look at alternatives and came across this forum. I'd heard of SJW before but because of medications etc I couldn't take it, but I'll give it a whirl now.
Thanks for replying pixy xx
