I had a bad reaction to both Luvox and Effexor (didn't get past 1 pill for each, ended up in emerg with the Luvox, worst panic attack of my life, and the Effexor was just YUCKY YUCKY YUCKY....though my MIL takes Luvox and loves it). And the 5HTP seems to have given me NO side effects and a noticable improvement....up until recently I thought. May try it again though now that I've phased it out...when I feel I need to again. We'll see. I might be having anxiety for other reasons, I find it's seasonable, it usually starts just before spring or when spring comes....so maybe it's that.
Anyhow, I was wondering kaydee, that does work for you?
Thanks for the personal experience sharing! Guess I may suck it up and try the prescription.
