PS. What is next? Do you have migraines or cluster headaches and take a triptan like imitrex or Maxalt? Guess what, these are Seritonin Agonists

S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM-E) is a supplement used for both mood elevation and to treat pain from arthritis. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a supplement used alone or in combination with valerian and melatonin to stop insomnia. It is a precursor to Serotinin and is also used in Europe to treat depression. So how long until that herbal sleep aid becomes an excuse to take your guns.
And I am not even going to start with all the herbs that are Monoamine oxidase inhibitors and could concievably be considered psychotripic.

Cataplexy - a type of seizure associated with narcolepsy - is completely controlled by very small doses (1 capsule every 3 days) of clomipramine - a tricyclic antidepressant.

The simple fact is that these drugs are often prescribed for conditions that have nothing to do with one's mental health!
