What I get I feel goes beyond PMDD. It's not something an antidepressant cures. Before I get my period, it's as though I'm on no meds at all.
Today, for instance, I felt like I was on coke. I actually still feel that way. So I was very productive all day at work. Except that one part where I painted my nails (orange, with orange glitter -- it might sound ugly but it's very pretty and fall-y). But I also feel like I've cycled through several states, from a very good mood, to a bit depressed and insecure, to paranoid someone was laughing about me (probably from my insecurity), to nostalgic over someone I was once in love with whom I fell out of love, and back to a chatty, joking good mood, to agitated from all the chatting, and then back to chatty, and then at the end of the day I was done and agitated again. I was just like, "Party's over. That's it." I didn't even respond when my co-workers tried to continue the repartee. I basically shut down with my computer.
And just now I realized I'm PMSing. I feel like I get so much worse when I'm hormonal. But is it just PMS/PMDD? Has this happened to anyone else?

Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
Latuda, 40mg -- for the paranoia (delusional type).
Adderall, 40mg XR & 5 mg reg -- for the ADD.
Xanax, .5 mg as needed -- for the anxiety.
Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.
MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .
Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.
