Hi there, I struggle with my TOM and always have w/ my moods getting so wonky and scary at times. My mood isn't always correlating to the TOM which is why I know there are other things going on there, but it is weirder and worse typically 1 week prior to my P. (my mother is convinced I am not bi-polar/ mood disordered, rather I am just very hormonal like she was.... ). I know I am both... What can I do to help the PMS?
I am trying homeopathic (my Pdoc approved), Vitex - but i am not sure how much or if it helps. Any other suggestions appreciated and I will run by my Pdoc.

(A year ago, my OBGYN put me on small dose of Prozac which helped! but it induced hypomanic state for me, plus it isn't compatible with my current meds).

I am definitely a bit more 'even' now, but deal allot w/ PMS ... breast pains, cramps on 1st day of etc... I might consider a Dr visit to make sure its normal.
Perhaps b/c of my age (35) and that I never had kids (yet...)
