Anyone feel crap when on period or about to start period?
These citalopram pills work a charm, i'm on 20mg at the moment since dec 2008 ive been taking them, so far no complaints, however, whenever i'm about to start my period or when i'm on my period, i feel like THATS when i get little "blips" and my mood goes down a little....whenever i feel low like this i keep thinking about booking an appt to the doctors to "up my dose", but then as soon as i finish my period, i feel good again!
Just wondering if anyone else felt like this? Is this normal?

Hello :)
I have had terrible PMT for years and I find it is always the 7 days before and about 2 days into it, when I feel terrible. My anxiety gets much worse in the 3 days before. I get moody, tearful, anxious, and depressed. I think its quite a common problem whether people suffer with anxiety or not. As soon as the period has ended I start to pick up and start whinging about other things again :winks:
I personally cant wait to be old and over the menopause!!! :yesyes:
Re: Anyone feel crap when on period or about to start period?
The same here! Im not on pills, and wining my battle against anxiety at the mo. :)))), and before my period I always have a bit of a crisis, controlled by lots of CBT and breathing! I now know not to worry too much that as soon as period comes anxiety goes( almost always!)
Re: Anyone feel crap when on period or about to start period?
yep, me too. It sets me right back and i too have ended up at the doctors a couple of times thinking i have gone back to square one but then everything settles down again. The joys of being a woman eh?
I have started to take inositol and that seems to be helping at the moment but its early days.
Re: Anyone feel crap when on period or about to start period?
yeh i feel more anxious around the time of my period too, hate it.
Re: Anyone feel crap when on period or about to start period?
Yes me too. I always had stomach cramps for a couple of days, I am used to that, but since anxiety kicked in, I get anxious whenever I feel ill, so when I am on my period, it's not pleasant.

Its normal for me. Starts a week beforehand and settles quickly after I've started.
