Possibly 100-300mg per day of 5HTP IF you are NOT on any medication.

16-is sometimes an ackward stage in ones life, but you are not by yourself in SAD-there are medications out there that can help ,but if you feel like you really want to try it on your own there is no one on earth that can tell you -that you can't do it except YOU!You have to get up and get out there as hard as it will be and force yourself to interact with others;get involved with different organiztions that help in your community. There may be a little buudy or little sister program in your area and that could be a great start for you. Look fo ways to Volunteer in your Community-Search the local newspaper and look into it at school also. These extra-curriculum programs will help you socially and it will help you also if you plan to get a college education one day- it will look really good on your application. It's hard, but you can do it if you want to bad enough. GoodLuck-and God Bless!!I feel confident you can do it, if you really want to bad enough!

First, assess your fears to identify what situations cause the most anxiety. Apply these techniques to those situations. Practicing these techniques regularly can help you manage or reduce your anxiety. You may need to begin with small steps in situations that aren't overwhelming.
These techniques include:
Eating with a close relative, friend or acquaintance in a public setting.
Making eye contact and returning greetings from others, or being the first to say hello.
Preparing for conversation. For instance, read the newspaper to identify an interesting story you can talk about.
Giving someone a compliment.
Focusing on personal qualities you like about yourself.
Showing an interest in others. Ask about their homes, children and grandchildren, hobbies or travels, for instance.
Asking a retail clerk to help you find an item.
Getting directions from a stranger.
In addition, be sure to keep your medical or therapy appointments, take medications as directed and talk to your doctor about any changes in your condition.

I had it until I was about 21.
You go through changes through life. Puberty is a messed up time.
I don't have it anymore.
Let me warn you. DO NOT GO SEE A PSYCHIATRIST.
They WILL diagnose you with a "disorder" and they WILL put you on medications that will screw up your mind.
Trust me!
