Hello, I am currently going to opiate withdrawal and battle with depression/anxiety even when I'm not using. I plan to get clean and stay clean.

I was wondering if dpla and 5htp can benefit me during my w/d's and whilst staying clean.

When I was younger I was on all types of psyche meds such as paxil, lithium, seroquel, zoloft, geodon, and many more. These drugs tended to dull me and make me feel slow, so I dont not take them any more.

I'm just leary of using drugs that will ''dull'' me and want to know if anyone has any personal experience with these vitamins, preferably someone who has also been on psyche meds at one point.

Any help is appreciated.I am currently doing my own research but would like to read some personal input from BLTC.

never used DLPA, but i have used 5htp and i dunno if its placebo or what but it tends to make me feel a little less "dirty" and anxious.

but yeah i agree about psychiatric meds not working or having bad side effects. the only ones ive found useful are benzos, but they also have bad side effects.

Thanks for your response. Though I would like to inquire wether the 5htp gave you any negative side effects at all?

nope not really but i would take it at night cause it tended to make sleeping easier but i doubt it would make you tired if you took it in the morning.

I take 5-HTP regularly, in the morning, and note distinct bouts of pleasant moods follow the therapy after the course of a month or so.
