Well 5-HTP is different, being that it naturally is in your body to begin with. This is what your body uses to make serotonin. Suppliments are generally used to boost the amount of serotonin your body normally makes. In small doses it has no side effects, and can make transition b/w prescription drugs and therapy less traumatic. This was only a suggestion, as it has worked for a lot of people. Of course, this is Joy's choice of how she wants to handle it. She just seems apprehensive about going cold turkey. If safety about taking 5-HTP is a concern, there are a lot of websites dedicated to giving detailed information on it.
