Broke. Can't decide between L-Tryptophan, 5-HTP, L-Tyrosine, or Mucuna pruriens. Where should I start? (Depression)

Original post in this thread

I currently am taking caffeine + l-theanine, fish oil, and rhodiola rosea. The fish oil and caffeine/theanine are great and not going anywhere. The effects of Rhodiola were GREAT at first, but have since disappeared. I'm afraid to go off it though, because I think that it is helping me, I just am used to it now? I'm not sure. I started taking it for mild depression and low energy. I have had a very hard time getting out of bed in the morning, and I have done some research on L-Tryptophan and 5-HTP, which supposedly help you sleep and have you feeling better in the morning. The mucuna I am interested in because of the L-Dopa. And lately, I've been seeing alot about L-Tyrosine when I am looking up L-Tryptophan, but I'm not sure exactly what it does.
Here is the kicker: I am broke af. If I could add only ONE of the above supplements, what would you guys recommend? I am leaning towards L-Tryptophan.

Send me your name and address, and I will send you a bottle of tianeptine to try out. Depression sucks.

You need to start tapering off it now! You are not using it properly, and are going to cause yourself harm. Tianeptine is hard on the liver at those dosages. It is not meant to be taken at 650mg/day. Your usage is irresp
