caution on 5HTP for depression

I read a good book by Patrick Holford called optimum nutrition for the mind and he discussed 5htp and all the other 'natural' ways to cure depression/anxiety. When I was doing ok it did help but you have to take all other tablets like b vitamins and omega 3/6/9 and others. Sadly, I had to go back to my doctors and get citralopram for my anxiety and worry. When I have gotten over this alcohol issue and my life is on a balanced track I would like to go natural. Interesting.... I think Jim Carey the comedian is very much into 5htp as he has suffered from very serious depression. It makes one think!!!!!
