i never had anxiety until i took my amalgams out. I read that seems to happen to people, but usually it goes away after 1-2 years. When i took 5-htp in the past i got some anxiety but depression was better. I think it could be caused by changing brain chemistry. Remember when people start with antidepressant their mood often gets better but one of the side effects can be anxiety.

I also did improper chelation and I think i redistributed mercury in my cns. After that i had big problems with anxiety for a while. After proper chelation my neurological symptoms improved and my anxiety got better.

Dawn, did you try chelation?
