And it sounds like a lot of 'situational' type of stressors. Maybe your pdoc (is it a full 50 minute session?), could concentrate on teaching you coping skills for times like this- although personally I've found psychologists more skilled in this area. The SSRI's DO cause tremors in some people just like AP's do- I had TD from zyprexa, even though people claim there's almost no chance of getting it from the atypical AP's- bs. If your symptoms worsen before your period, then you definitely should have a work-up, preferably by an ob/gyn/endocrinologist- usually fertility docs. They will probably do FSH, E2 (estradiol) levels, thyroid- all of which influence symptoms of stress and depression. Psychiatrists tend not to think outside the box, which is why I feel the client needs to do the work for themselves and demand the proper tests and medication if necessary. I wish you all the best and congrats on finishing your paper! Take care, Judy
