5-HTP (100mg). Good idea? She is 22 years old and is going through a lot right now and had a panic attack about a week ago. Plus she has been dizzy, nauseated, and suicidal. I told her to try the natural supplement 5-HTP thinking that might be the best along with a multi vitamin plus extra B6 and B12 vitamins. However, I also told her about SAM-e and St. John's Wort. I also thought about suggesting L-Theanine (in addition to vitamins and 5-HTP) as well but didn't mention it. I figure if she doesn't show improvement in about 3 to 4 days I might recommend going to the doctor for an anti-depressant. Do you think this is a good plan or do you have any other suggestions I could give her? She is a sweet girl that is going through some tough times and I really want her to feel better. I have known her for 3 years and this is the worst she has ever been.
