Gepirone is a drug that attaches to one of the serotonin receptors of the subtype designated as 5-HT1a. It acts to stimulate this receptor, but only partially so. It might thus help to stabilize the activity of the serotonergic neuron.
5-HTP is available in the US as a food supplement and can be purchased in vitamin stores.
