Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
You can take 5HTP. It does not have any major interaction with oral contraceptive. 5HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid and chemical precursor as well as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin from tryptophan. It would help to control anxiety in natural way. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
