Hi,  thanks Taz, for posting that link.  I have just read it as that is of great interest to me due to suffering severe perimenopausal pms which is making my life (& the rest of the househo!d's lives) a misery.  What LeeJane has mentioned is a good point, though, because what happens when you stop taking the AD's for the 'good' time during the cycle?  Do you get withdrawal symptoms?  Also, when I first go on AD's, I get INCREASED anxiety for the first week.  I wou!d definitely take them if I didn't get the horrib!e side effects - I seem to have become very sensitive to a lot of meds recently.  Has anyone out there tried this method & had success with it?  X

I am trying to get by without taking anything other than the HRT & kalms as it does seem to be a monthly experience.  I think your mantra 'it will pass' definitely helps !  I think it is a case of coming to terms with the different emotions - it is definitely a transition !  I am also making the most of the ups rather than focusing on the downs.

1999 isn't recent though ……… and GRL seems to think there is latest research  :-\

Ah well ……. I know that it isn't usually suggested to mess with ADs because the brain requires a regular supply to enable the sufferer to cope …….
