I'm not sure about the hormone thing. I'm 36 and just got off the Mirena after 5 years- the IUD with progesterone in it. I rarely had periods with it so suddenly having normal heavy periods is a change. Even while on it, though, before going on Depakote, my PMS was horrible. in fact, that's how I got my diagnosis- thought it was PMDD, but turned out to be bipolar I. Seems my hormones are sorting themselves out,

My first experience with hormones, the depoprevara birth control shot that lasts 3 months....induced my first mania.
I am scared of taking hormones now...even my pdoc recommended that I might try them since I am starting to have symptoms, occasionaal nite sweats...I am afraid to even try.
Yes our hormones can really swing us one way or the other...
I am 45.
