I was ok until Babe was around 14 months, then I noticed mixed feelings of rage, anger, helplessness, anxiety, panic that would come on intensley for about 10 days every month.
Some weeks I can be energetic & happy, other weeks I can be reduced to an angry sniveling wreck by the slightest thing. I can also dread spending time with DD, to the point where I hate myself for it.
This is NOT normal PMS, it disables me, stops me living a normal life.
Vitamin B's & Oil of Evening Primrose simply do not cut it.
Doc prescribed Citalopram, 20mg to take daily for 2 weeks of the month. For 3 months I took this, each time vomiting & having the runs for the first few days. I also came out in Hives, Doc thought I was sensitive to it.
So now I have Prozac 20mg daily full time. I have found this easier to take but I feel it makes me drowsy, which is a bit crap when trying to entertain a Toddler.
Does anyone else have this problem & what do they find helps?
