Natural Anti-depressant Recommendations

Hi S.
Yes, lots of prayer! PMS is not fun, but it's always good to know what is causing us to feel "yuke!" Ask your doctor about Lexapro, you may tolerate it better. Most women that I have talked to do well with the Lexapro. You should not be itching (see last message I wrote you). I don't know if you exercise, but that is an option. The natural remedies work on some, but not on others. It's a matter of seeing what works best for you. I am sure some of the moms will have some good feedback for you. Be Encouraged!

You need to take hydroxzine with it, then you wont itch.

Its called 5 HTP. It is a ground up seed. In your body it breaks down in to serretonin and tryptophen. (I know I misspelled both of those, lol) It will make you a little happy and sleepy so take at hight. I gt it at Central market, also talk with their herb sales people, they know their stuff.

This is probably one of the side effects. Tell your dr. what you are experiencing, and see if you can be put on another antidepressant that will be more compatible with your body.

I'm on Mirtazapine, and I have not encountered any problems. Beware, this medication will help you gain weight. I started to lose weight, when I got depressed.

Good Luck.
