**END** Addressing this question from a different angle than Jeff's I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has had any experience and/or results from the OTC supplement, 5-HTP? It is the immediate precursor to the neurotransmitter, Serotonin, which the lack of availability at the synaptic gaps is addressed by Prozac, Zoloft and the other SSRI's (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors). Serotonin in the body is made slowly and the idea of regular supplement of its immediate precursor is thought to help obviate depression, etc. Anyone? Dr. Pete?
