I've taken 5-htp quite a long time ago but heart it can lead to heart problems so stopped.
Low GABA can be a culprit of OCD and I saw GABA supplementation recommended on this forum so I took this supplement called Olly Goodbye Stress which has GABA, theanine and lemon balm (which is supposed to increase GABA production) a few weeks back and I felt AMAZING for a few hours, felt like I took a xanax. Unfortunately I got pretty anxious once it started to wear off so I didn't take them again. Any idea what could've caused it? I'd love to continue to take GABA since I saw such a drastic benefit.

Never read that about 5-HTP?
The time you go to sleep means nothing, but having a good sleep cycle is very important. I go to bed within close to 15 minutes every night. You will notice if you sleep to long a fog that may last all day?
Getting sleep was the best thing I have found, and keep it on a schedule the second best thing!
