>Hi Anna,
I have to say there is a lot of trial and error with getting the right meds or alternative meds. I have to add that exersice DOES create those endorphins that makes our moods better, but I'm the first one to admit it is hard to keep up on a regular basis. Also for women who may think they have pms they may also be going through hypoglycemic ups and downs which mimic many symptoms of major depression, anxiety, memory loss, etc. This can be helped simply with diet and mabey progesterone a couple of weeks before your period. It actually begins with a dip in depression on ovulation, approx. 14 days into cycle due to hormone levels. What a visious cycle...and then if you have other depression anxiety, compulsive disorders etc. other than this..boy it can get confusing. By correcting the PMS some women may find this is actually their biggest culprit. And for those of us who have both, what a releif to control some of the symptoms. My counselor told me of a book, that I have mentioned on another posting called "Unmasking PMS" I know you can get it for $5.99 at Boarders Book Store, or order it through whatever bookstore around you. Definately worth the reading!
