Thanks for the replies, i took 100gms 5htp, yesterday and i had to take a sleeping pill from the doctor as i only sleep 3 or 4 hrs a night and when dealing with this depression and anxiety i really need more sleep. Im trying my hardest to stay of antidepressants which my doc wants to give me, as when i have mercury symptoms im crying all the time and cant function normally. Its only been 3 weeks since my fillings were replaced. Im finding it hard to be a mum. Dawn.
