Questions About 5HTP for Severe OCD, Anxiety, Tics and Depression

I was on fluoxetine for 25 years, increasing over the years due to lack of efficacy. For the last five years I was on 80 mg. I ended up with tinnitus, and highly sensitive hearing to the point where everything hurts my ears; and believe it was the SSRI. I read a harvard article on the link between seretonin and tinnitus you see. On trying a different SSRI, the tinnitus doubled.

I came off it a year ago and have been through the worst hell imaginable. I want to try 5HTP but concerned about the seretonin... your article gives the idea that it balances it rather than gives extra. I also had insomnia, inability to orgasm and inability to cry while on 'prozac'... will those be a problem if I take 5HTP?

I appreciate your feedback, if you get chance. I'm desperate, and hope you can help. I have no life and Im housebound with the ocd/tics being so bad. I'm a fortysix year old woman, not on any medication at all with a good medical history. Please reply, if you can. Thank you
