5htp did nothing except make me foggy. Took 150mg to 300mg for 2 months. Lousy sleep too.
I don't think my problems are serotonin related. All that extra serotonin though somehow did really quiet down the tinnitus.St Johns Wort worked really really good starting in about 3 weeks. It lasted 3 months and then just pooped out completely. It also increased the loudness of my tinnitus quite a bit, which I was able to bear considering how well I felt.
I think with SJW it was the dopamine reuptake and the gaba reuptake that did the trick for me. The serotonin reuptake and the norepinephrine reupate I don't think were very meaningful for me. When I tapered off it, I swear I had every withdrawal symptom in the book, bigtime, for benzo withdrawals.
