> Has anyone been diagnosed with PMDD or noticed a monthly cycling of their depressive/anxious moods? I started on Lex 3 weeks ago, 10mg. It was great the first 2 - lifted my "fog" and anxiety, etc. But this is my "bad" week of the month - right before my period. The fog and anxiety are coming back. I spoke to my p-doc and he said to give it another month and see if it dissipates before increasing my dosage. But, I'm not happy with going backward after 2 weeks of feeling pretty normal again! Any similar experiences?
> ~LynneI was dx w/PMDD and started Lex in Feb. Currently @20mg. I was a TOTAL MESS befor w/screaming and uncontrollable ANGER, but Lex has put a stop to all of that. I feel like a normal person again. You should give the Lex a chance to work for you...it took me 9 weeks befor I got *benefits*.
Hang in there, if it works for you like it does for me, the wait will be worth it!~~~8|8
