Hi all! I suffer from GAD, but one of my biggest triggers is a fluctuation of my hormones. A little background: suffer from irregular periods and endometriosis. Been on bc for years (15 or so). Decided last month to stop taking bc because I felt like it was time.

Well, here I am, riddled with pms (it's been over 28 days, but like I said, I've always been irregular). Took a pregnancy test (negative)....and o period relief in sight!

Has anyone had experience with this and can maybe suggest a supplement that I might try to help alleviate my symptoms? I currently take zoloft 75mg daily, and Xanax .5 as needed...but I feel like the 'as needed' is more than usual around period time. So if there's a supplement out there that anyone has had success with, I'm ready to try anything! :)

Thanks!!

Well, you are not alone! Do a search here at HW to see some of the many threads and good posts on this subject!

I have heard that good nutrition, including adding soy into your diet if you haven't already (or increasing it if you have) is good for PMS relief.

There is also a lot to be said for exercise...I know, the last thing you want to do when you feel sluggish, bloated and tired...but just a good 30 min walk can make a big difference...it not necessary to do a power hour at the gym...thank goodness!;p

I hope that your hormone levels will settle soon. You are in a fluxuation as you body adjust to this change...I am sure that next month will be easier.

Talk to you soon,

S.C.
