I take clonopin every day and that blunts some of the emotional torment but not by much. I wish my pdoc would be open to trying another option but he is incredibly inflexible and doesn't care at all about how my cycle affects my moods. He blames every episode on meds because that's all he knows. But all of my episodes except for one have been caused by extreme stress or hormones or more often than not a combination of the two. But he doesn't care at all or listen to me.
