lazydaisy Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Every month before my period is due, I feel really evil Complete "dont get in my way or I'll rip your head off" sort of feeling. I try very hard not to be snappy to my children and other people, but I am not always successful. Does anyone out there have some method/take something to reduce or stop these feelings? I take anti-depressants so this may effect what I can take. HELP ps chocolate does work but only temporarily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
border collie Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Starflower oil capsules or Evening primrose oil can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think B vitamins help, and I've heard that milk thistle does too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safneo Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 You can look at your diet too. If I remember correctly, eating little and often helps, Also, I think, carbs are good. I'm sure if you google PMT and diet, it will bring up loads of stuff. I do seem to remember a thread about PMT a while ago and lots of people suffered with it. I'm sure that a lot of the 'evening' people will have more solutions. I too take Agnus Castus, Vit B (take cos I'm veggie anyway), and evening primrose.

suzeanna Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 When I was a bit younger than you, I had a blood test and my doctor said I was perimenopausal (meaning some changes were showing I could start the menopause within a couple of year or so) and offered me HRT. It was fantastic! I stayed on it for about eight years, and then stopped. I presume I had the change somewhere along the line, but no hot flushes, no bad temper (I remember my mother when she had it, she was diabolical!) and I've been fine ever since. Maybe ask your doc if its worth being checked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooandboo Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Diet is a must for me - regular supply of complex carbs (refined carbs make me feel sick), little and often as Saf says. I'm the same on a daily basis but it becomes horribly intensified around my period (My Dad recently escaped having a pan of boiling pasta over his head by shoving a peeled banana at me just in time ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godin Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 As a total aside if suppliments and diet changes don't work I find Boxing very cathartic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dognabbit Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I understand that chocolate, wine and new shoes appear to help! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babsc71 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I understand that chocolate, wine and new shoes appear to help! ;-) I find verbally abusing a man who suggests the above helps!!!! Actually, I drink lot more milk and that seems to calm me down....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilRed Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 B Vitamin Complex should work, I seem to remember that if you look into Evening Primrose Oil contains a B Vitamin(s) but you would need to check for yourself. B vitamins are cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
