My husband is 84, generally in good health but lately has been experiencing shaking, weakness, and balance issues, requiring a walking stick. He recently had a normal brain scan and MRI. Today, he experienced a sudden episode of weakness and confusion while reaching into a cupboard, which resolved on its own. He is currently sleeping and says he feels fine. Should we wait until Monday to see a doctor or take him to the emergency room now, despite his current well-being?

I recently started taking 5-HTP for mild depression and headaches. I am 60 years old and have tried many antidepressants but wanted to try a more natural option. I am taking 200 mg a day. I've been waking up stiff with aches and still have some throughout the day. Can this be due to 5-HTP?
