Switching from sertraline to 5 htp
I have found that sertraline is not working for me and after doing some research I would like to try 5 htp. I would like to know the best way to make the switch as I cannot see my doctor for quite some time and am getting quite desperate.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Regrettably it would be unprofessional to advice medication change without a proper review of symptoms and medication history and response. Best wishes.
