A member asked:

5 htp and l tyrosine stack for anxiety and depression?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Beware long term use: No scientific evidence that these herbal supplements are useful against psychosocial stressors. In fact, a 2007 Canadian study warned against the effects of long term use. No shortcut here, so better to exercise, relaxation technique and prescription if necessary.
