PMS anxiety

[elodrumm]

Hi girls
I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I suffer from a lot of anxiety around my periods & ovulation. I get pretty lightheaded heart racing feel like I can't cope the whole lot. I went to my GP about it recently because it's starting to take over my life to the point I feel like I only have one normal week a month!!
Anyway she suggested maybe trying lexapro for the week before my period, just to see if it helps. Has anyone tried this? I'm terrified of taking meds & some of the stories I've read about lexapro online are horrible.
If anyone has had any similar experience I'd love to hear your thoughts
Thank you x

I don't have much experience with the meds department as i was given birth control in September and still haven't taken it lol but i do understand with the whole anxiety and periods area, i get really lightheaded and fatigued while i'm on it and a few days before i get really down and even suicidal sometimes, it can be a bit full on so if it's really hard to cope i'd give the tablets a try x
