Hi, 5 hydroxytryptamine is serotonin itself. Certain medications are used to increase serotonin levels in the brain. However, this is done in specific cases where a particular diagnosis has been established. Serotonin is not a panacea for all stress related states. Tryptophan rich foods, chocolate etc have some beneficial effects but even with them it is not as if it works for all. placebo effect is also large. You must see an expert and get specific and personalised advice. Take care!
