> Any ladies out there experience symtoms during their menstal cycle? I stay up all night, am extra crabby. thoughts race. This starts around the 12-14th day of my menstral cycle. When I am ovulating. Lasts 4-5 days then the rest of the month I am just regular manic me.

> I am still in denial that this problem that I have had for YEARS should be treated with these meds and think this problem I have is just hormonal and should be treated different. MD said hormones exerbate the problem. Asked MD to run thyriod function test and next week am seeing a homopathic/MD.

> Thanks HollyHi Holly,
Just thought I'd see if you were still having problems with your mentral cycle. I turned 43 and my hormones went upside down. Could not sleep either, depressed, severe headaches, anxiety, bad thoughts. Finally, I went to the doctor and he put me on Sarafem. All symptoms ceased!Except for a little nervousness. Only thing is I'm tired much more often. But it is probably worth it because I couldn't take the other feelings anymore. Especially the severe headaches that were happening about 3 weeks out of the month.
