5HTP has not been thoroughly tested. I don't think that insurance will cover it.

So, best try SSRIs first.

Can Paxil be taken in early morning?

Most people do take the SSRI drugs in the morning. Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft often have the side effect of making you more alert and wide-awake. People often have trouble sleeping if they take these drugs right before bed. However, it really does not matter, and if you have no troublesome side effects, you can take your Paxil whenever you wish.

What happens when you mix too many ssri drugs an too many pain killer drugs together?

You die. Don't take more than one SSRI at a time. Combining two SSRIs is of some danger, and doctors do it only as a desperate attempt. Combining SSRIs increases massively concentration of serotonin at the gap between the neuron synapses, which may cause serotonin syndrome which if untreated is fatal. I'm not expert on opiates, but respiratory depression which can be fatal. Don't take more than one opiate at once. Taking one SSRI and one opiate at a time, should not cause problems. I don't think that SSRIs and opiates interact much.

Because if co-administration of those classes of drugs increase action many-fold, so serotonin levels will increase so massively that you may experience a serotonin syndrome, which is often lethal.


Can you take lamictal and Paxil together?

Yes. Lamictal is a mood stabilizer and paxil is an ssri (anti-depressant). Lamactil is often prescribed with SSRI's to "boost" the effect and/or work on areas that the SSRI does not tap. Obviously, an MD/Psych is the best person to talk to about drug interactions, not the internet.
