Has anybody any opinions on it [heres info if u dont already know about it - http://www.5-htp.org.uk/5-htp.php]??

It seems that it works like an SSRI? Or mebbe I have got the wrong idea about it. I can't take SSRI's because it triggers me to be manic and I was thinking of asking the psych when I see them if I can go on Risperidone for the constant heightened anxiety I've got at the moment, then I've thought I'd rather take buspirone as I don't quite need an AP but then I re-deicided perhaps I could just buy this and be done with it, forget the psych.
But I'm not only interested what you think in regard to my case,..wondered if anyone has considered buying / taking it or heard someone talking about that they do..

TIA xxxx

Well the last time i saw the psych he wanted me on risperidone but i told him ile have the carbemazapine which im on upped to 1000mg instead. if risperidone wouldnt help anxeity then i think he can forget it as an AP would just make my head foggy.
i dont know which chemical is causing the anxiety.
i'm schizo-affective bipolar type and on 1000mg carbemazapine only for psych issues and wish it didnt have to become tricky with needing another medication tbh.
ty for ur reply.
i hate mental health.

the reason i'd rather sort things out myself this time round is bcos i got an urgent app with the psy for the 30th which is also the day which im leaving on a plane for to go to glasgow and stay with a friend. check in opens at 1255 and the app is set for 1130. its gna be cutting it so fine but its the only space they had for an app.
i dont know why i am as anxious as i have been to the point of stressed. always. the slightest thing sends me inot a state. ive been winging it up until now on PRN propanolol from the GP but it isnt good enough.
im not gna be able to relax with the apps deadlines for the 30th. i cant cope with rushing from place to place. and i cant stand not being at an airport later than when check in opens. i know i need to see a psych and i preferably wanted see one b4 i go but its just fallen that its too mcuh happening on one day.
a bundle of nervous energy and stress on a daily basis as it is.
