> Hello everybody,
>
> I suffer from Depression (may be the Atypical type), Social Anxiety and PME (Pre-menstrual exacerbation). I'm wondering if there is any lady diagnosed with the same disorders and what drug combo worked for you.
>
> I'm curently taking Zoloft (sertraline) 25mg and double the dose (50 mg) during the luteal face. I'm also taking Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamines B6, E, Fish Oil and Ranitidine.
>
> I would say that the medicine helped me just a bit only with the PME's emotional aspect. I'm still depressed and anxious.
> I'm researching MAOI's I haven't tried too many meds yet. I had tried Effexor but I couldn't stand the side effects (stomach ache)
> I don't want to take Zoloft anymore because I read SSRIs lower bone density...
>
> This is a great site! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences!

When did your symptoms first start and how old were you? Was it after child birth? Is there a period in your monthly cycle that you are symptom free? Does it get worse at different times of the year? Sorry for all the questions.Polarbear
