Do I need seratonin or the other feel good stuff?

Posted by cherylann on April 13, 2004, at 15:48:03

For the past two nights I've been taking 50 mgs of 5htp. It is not helping me sleep at all.
Do the sedating effects come at higher dosages?
Also, I'm thinking that because I cannot sleep and suffer from panic and anxiety, maybe seratonin is not what I need. I seem to do ok when I take my little 1mg of klonopin and fish oil
but I so don't want to get addicted to the klon.
The only AD's that worked for me were the tricyclics and remeron, and don't they supply more than just seratonin? I can't remember the names of the other feel good stuff, norepinefrine or some other stuff.
How can I get those out of an alternative but still sleep at night?
Sorry I'm rambling and oh so tired, but I need some good advice.
