as the title suggests, i want to know if i can get something like 5-htp on prescription so i don't have to pay (i'm disabled and on benefits), instead of being on antidepressants...
does anyone know if this is possible?
also if anyone knows of any natural remedy that can alleviate psychosis/anger, please tell me, especially any success stories.
thanks

You can possibly look up the prescribing formulary on line - if it's in there then you definitely can. If it's not, it's not a definite no.
There isnt any natural remedy that will aleviate psychosis, but you may be able to get talking therapy on the NHS, and then top it up with SJW or 5htp that you buy yourself, or there are some things you can get from the doctor that arent typical anti depressants.
I was on fluanxol for a while, which you can take on an as and when basis and I found it non habit forming and was able to stop with no problems at all, and it really sorted my anxiety out for a long time
