Re: 5 HTP vs. Sam-E

Don't mean to interrupt but AD's CAUSE hormonal problems. They are endocrine disruptors and also increase the risk of breast cancer.

You might also want to go to a natural doc or look into orthomolecular medicine. Having hormonal and nurtional panels done to find what is wrong with the body may be helpful as we are not deficient in AD's. Take it from me I was on them 18 years before I found what caused my Depression and that is criminal...they almost killed me.

AD's also deplete magnesium, vit c, zinc, glutethione, etc. etc.

For the anxiety you might try supplementing with magnesium and fish oil. 80% of the population is low in magnesium and it can cause anxiety, panic and depression. Fish oil is BRAIN FOOD and is what the brain needs to function properly. Also reduce the consumption of Omega 6's (grains and vet oils).
