Hi I'm kind of freaking out. I have been on Lexapro for about five years. I was originally on 10mg and have been going down for the past two years. I was on 5mg for a long time and then went up to 7.5 about two weeks ago because my anxiety has gotten a lot worse. I just went to my doctor who uses both Western and Eastern medicines. He told me to take this "Relaxed Mood" supplement twice a day along with my Lexapro. It's been a day and a half being on it. I have taken it twice a day, two pills a day. I just realized that there is about 200mg of 5HTP in the two doses. So I have taken 200mg of 5HTP plus my lexapro each day...

I got in a google rabbit hole and am freaking out about seratonin syndrome. I have convinced myself I am nauseous now but can't tell if it's real. I already emailed doctor but now I'm scared it's too late. Any advice? Am I going to just keel over and die?! I'm freaking out.
