[QUOTE=pegasus;3781955]Hello capricornacopia, welcome to Psych Central.

Obviously you know what pms is but here is a link

Mood and behaviour symptoms of pms -

• Sad or depressed mood
• Anger, irritability, aggression
• Anxiety
• Mood swings
• Decreased alertness, trouble concentrating
• Withdrawal from family and friends

So you have all that going on as well as your bipolar depression but you do not need to suffer. Please go and see your doctor because there are many treatments for pms. The mini pill, IUS or IUD can level out the hormones and in a lot of cases you may not even have periods anymore, end of problem!



Thank you for the reply! I want to be on the pill again because it really helped level me out but my doctor doesn't want to put me on the pill because she doesn't know how it will effect my meds i.e. lamictal/ abilify/ adivan. I just hate feeling out of control and i feel like that so often lately. Do you know of any safe kinds of birth control to use while on medication?
