Stop if you have any adverse effects from your supplements. Otherwise use your original part 1 score from the Four-Part Mood-Type Questionnaire as a baseline. Review your symptoms regularly to make sure they’re disappearing. If some, but not all, symptoms disappear, increase your dose of 5-HTP or try tryptophan or Saint-John’s wort. Check for a thyroid problem (page 65) or pyroluria (page 303) if no supplement is totally effective. Stop after you’ve finished each bottle of 5-HTP, tryptophan, or Saint-John’s wort to see if your low-serotonin symptoms come back. If not, you do not need to take any more of the supplements. Your serotonin buildup may be complete for now, but keep your supplements around for the occasional low day, especially in winter.
