I kind of have depression. Lack of motivation. Pretty much no happiness . So maybe some applies to meX How has it changed you taking those things?

Could be a good sign that you are stirring in your sleep, possibly on the verge of waking up. Many folks don't realize that such 'negativity' is actually part of the process. I'm not saying you're one of them, just speculating without sugarcoating it.

Waking up to me is the end of being identified with the ego. And I feel I am not close to that

I took large doses of psychedelics, but the only drug that induced serotonin syndrome was tramadol.

Tramadol is such a weird drug. I combined it with weed a few times many years ago and it's like being on every drug at once.

I saw this guy speak about 5MeO-DMT and he mentioned that taking 5-HTP in the evening after a dose will encourage re-activations.

Right, identification is a mind construct. If what the mind is looking for is THAT, which is actually prior to the movement of mind, then it is closer than close, and it is the dominance of the mind at work in the feeling that you're 'not close to THAT/THIS'.

Mind you (hehe), it's OK to interact with/via the mind; indeed, one must to play along in the world. It's just that it has ideas about separation from THAT/THIS which, if believed, are at the core of suffering and all the shenanigans of the search. Even the belief of already gnossising THAT/THIS is still mind play, which is why Realization is a necessary gateless gate to pass through. The real fireworks of the mind play is when someone gets a woo woo experience (misconstrued as 'waking up'), and the mind takes credit for it, identifying itself as enlightened. Lots of silly stuff plays out. It usually takes a heavy dose of authenticity and self-honesty to work out the kinks, hehe. Simply THIS, with every thing appearing.
