I take: 1200 Trileptal, 100 Lamictal, 30 Abillify, and now 200 Wellbutrin SR (100 x 2 daily).

Can I add 5HTP?

You could, assuming serotonergics don't destabilise you. On the other hand, it would make a lot of sense to trial Wellbutrin for a few weeks before considering adding anything else.

Serotonergic. I don't see why not. Try a small dose first and see what it does for you, I found it rather sedating. Like a lot of things, it helped for awhile and then stopped.

If mania is a potential symptom for you, be cautious.
