Hi Dina, thank you for your response, I'm so glad that you can relate (that didn't sound right, but you know what I mean). I can't believe how much change there is in you that one to one and a half weeks before your period. My fears (mostly impending illness) just skyrockets, but when my period starts, a couple of days into it, I seem to settle down. Do you get those same fears, if you don't mind me asking?
I am on 10mg of ciprolex, and I'm just wondering, like you if I should speak to my doctor when I go next week, to see if I can up it that 2 weeks before my period, then go off it.
This whole PMDD thing is just amazing how our body is functioning during this time and the effects of hormones on us. Thanks again Dina for your input, it's interesting.
Maggie
