Hi..

I was just wondering if any women have found that thier panic/anxiety worsens during "That Time Of The Month"?

I do belive that my symptoms get a bit worse at this time.
I have been on zoloft the past month and was feeling Great up until last week when I started pms..ing

any advice?

Yes for sure. My anxiety and nausea has been through the roof this week. My period just started yesterday and today I am feeling so on edge for no reason at all other than hormones.

Your anxiety definitely heightens at certain points in your menstrual cycle due to your hormone balance changes - even the most relaxed women can get edgy due to hormone imbalances :-) I've heard B6 is good but you may want to do some research first because I've just read about it in various articles over the years!
