hi
yes 5htp will help but before you start taking it i would suggest get reviewed by a psychiatrist for the dosing of the drug.
you have to be care ful with the medications as it has interactions with other medications.
it also has side effects which can cause othe issues to come about.
so get reviewed by a psychiatrist first.
hope to have answered your query
thanking you.
