Hi Redlocks- I have come to the conclusion that loss of oestrogen basically trashed every system in the body!

Interesting! I've heard that estrogen affects a lot, including serotonin apparently!

Thank you, Birdy :0) The knowledge of everyone here is amazing, you should all be researchers!
Do you think then the change in my hormones might be causing the overwhelming panic and sadness I'm experiencing? I feel like I'm in a deep bereavement and things that  I can usually keep a handle on are overwhelming me. I'm usually able to put worries to one side and be practical and enjot things! X

I do feel angry when I'm premenstrual, but usually it comes out as panic rather than anger.
I had a better day yesterday but feeling overwhelmed with anxiety this morning after waking up nice and calm - I cannot calm myself down and I know logically there's nothing bad happening right now but it's still there! And I have no idea what my hormone levels are or what's causing what.
I'm so up and down and don't know what to do with the attacks - I've tried to sit through them and sometimes I can and other times it's just too much.
I'm on my progesterone-free week and restart the 100mg tomorrow night.

 ;D At least you have kept your sense of humour!
I don't think you did ask me :) how much do you need to take to help symptoms? Can you take it even if your levels are normal?
As I said utter panic and anxiety are my most disruptive symptoms! It makes me feel disassociated and I don't know what to do with myself...
