Nature's bounty 5-htp 100mg capsule vs celexa (citalopram). they both have serotonin. so which is better for anxiety? i rather have natural.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"natural": Unfortunately natural does not necessarily equal safe or effective. Herbals are not subjected to evaluation to make sure that they contain the ingredients that they advertise. In this case i would suggest celexa. Or its generic alternative- citalopram.
