PMS and Depression

by Orla, Apr 15, 2007 12:00AM
I suffer from a debilitating depression that comes from severe PMS.  I have been using some supplements under my doctor's direction and am happy that my estrogen levels have increased.  However, after a couple good months this last month has become bad again.  Does anyone have other natural rememdies that I can try.  I am wanting to handle this naturally if I can before I try medication.  Thanks, Orla

If you want to go "naturally "add exercise to help with the depression .It doesnt have to strenuous just walking briskly for at leat 30 munutes a day to raise thos seritonin levels
let me add that natural" is not always better.Everything comes from nature including prescription meds for depression.
I am bi polar and I take celexa/zyprexa and I wouldnt trade them for any thing because of the difference they Have mdae in my quality of life.
I used to feel the same way as you about meds so iI would quit taking them and  the 3 major times I quit I would spiral out of contrl into deep mania and depression.
Then I decided after episomde I would never be that way again.I have taken my meds faithfully for 6 years and I have a wonderful quality of life.
If taking a pill means you can function normally then by all means try it .You havent anything to loose but the debillitating depression.
Let me know how it fgoes for you
Love
Venora
