5HTP organic supplement is said to be safe if you take it as a single supplement therapy. It is mostly taken per os by mood disorder patients. It is said to help ease mood disorder and depression. It is a natural serotonin builder in the brain. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid SSRIs and anti depressant pharmaceutical preparations from the pharmacy so that unnecessary extra serotonin level is built up.

Just be careful which brand you buy - I bought 200mg capsules that were definitely stronger than 400mg capsules from another seller.
I think Ashwaghanda is more geared towards specific anxiety issues?
