St. Johns Wort and 5-HTP for fibros?

I just started supplementing my already large dose of supplements with St. Johns Wort and 5-htp.

Just wondering if anyone else does this and what i can expect and when do things start feeling better or what side effects are there?

i also take:
B complex
Magnesium
Calcium with vitamin D
Multi vitamin
thyroid helping vitamin (im hypoT)
green tea vitamin

I think the SJW made me jollier but it didn't really help with the joints and muscle issues. I am taking 5-htp too.

Right now I feel like I'm in remission but I think I give my diet credit for that. I think my joint/muscle issues were caused by my immune system going nuts from my food intolerances. At least, I hope that is it.
