Apparently some people use I-tyrosine with the 5 HTP. Hopefully someone will confirm this.

Yes I'm on 5-HTP and have taken it before - both successful times. Take it with l-tyrosine too - need to be taken together.
I recovered on Citalopram though when I stop meds I always feel 'meh'....... so taking 5-HTP helps a lot. I took it once before but had to restart Citalopram due to the stress of family illness, so have just spent a year coming off it and returned once again to 5-HTP and l-tyrosine in August. Am doing fine still.

What is 5 HTP and l tyrosine? Is it prescription or over the counter?

They're over the counter meds. 5-HTP is a natural SSRI and l-tyrosine helps supports it (I'd need to look it up in my book again to see exactly how).
