Thread: Anyone feel crap when on period or about to start period?

  1. #1

    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
    I personally cant wait to be old and over the menopause!!!

    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!)

    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.

    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.
