Hi,&nbsp;

I took a bath in Epsom salt wich had eucalyptus and menthol in it. It smelled really strong, my mom smelled it in the living room. Anyways after the bath I started feeling funny, heart beating fast, dizzy, feeling like I'm going to pass out, ect... So I googled fluoxtine (which im on) and Epsom salt interactin and it said it was a moderate interaction. Now I'm afraid I should go to the hospital or something. Do you think its anxiety or drug reaction? I'm so scared!!! Anybody else here take fluoxtine and took an Epsom bath? Was it okay?&nbsp;

Its normal at times a after a bath to experience this. &nbsp;Its just your anxiety talking and making you paranoid that its the epsom salt.

Thank you. You're right I was blaming it on the Epsom salt. I sat down and watched a movie with my mom and felt better. I just can't believe I can't even have a bath without anxiety ![sad](https://community.patient.info/uploads/default/emoticons/emoticons/sad.gif)
