There is often a common misunderstanding about serotonin prescription medications. These are Selective Serotonin Re-uptake 'Inhibitors' (SSRI's) and are of benefit to many of those who have IBS, among other things. These drugs do not add serotonin to your body, they simply help regulate how the body uses what your body naturally produces, and help the gut and mind communicate more comfortably as far as physical symptoms among other things, including feelings of depression.

Hope this helps.
