Thus, it might be worth trying minocycline if a person had previously found, for example, that SSRI's, 5-HTP or other drugs or substances that increase serotonin (or its effect), are energizing or otherwise helpful.

The minocycline might address the potential problem further upstream, i.e., the inflammatory response, which may be better than trying to correct the lowered serotonin levels that occur later in response to the inflammation.
This is me. I do well with 5-HTP and I was given Cymbalta (and Strattera) for OI, and both were helpful. I'll post on my response to Minocycline.
