Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Best mood medications

Renee thanks for the info on naturopathic remedies. I do an epsom salt bath with a drop of lavendar, which is also very calming. I'll have to try chamomile. I use a castor oil pack three times a week for an hour - I always look forward to that time. The heat feels great on my belly, and I always save my favorite tv show to watch during that time. I need to keep experimenting with Bach flower remedies. I bought rescue remedy, and I don't notice much difference in my level of anxiety with it. I am interested in rhodiola - what is that?

I think I was having a hormone surge the past few days that brought on depression and weepiness. I am feeling better this morning, and less inclined to want medication. Sometimes I just feel desperate to stop sinking into a hole for a few days at a time. It is so exhausting. When I am at such low points as I have been for several days now, I have really dark thoughts that disturb me. That's when I start wondering if I need pharmaceutical intervention. But once I feel better, I realize how much I don't want to me medicated.

Anyway, I appreciate your responses. I hope you will accept the invitation I emailed you to join the Ning site.
