> Yes PMS x 10 is horrid to deal with. I take a Birth Control Pill, although Im single. It's called Quasense. I'm Bipolar, so it evens out my girly hormones that get in the way of my mood stability. I'm 24 and still have alot of hormones running around inside my mind and body.

> Your ID story is funny. My ID has a pic of me with a black shirt, darker hair, and liquid eyeliner. And of course the camera caught me in a 'mean' look. People think I'm a witch or something because of that pic. And when I go out in gym clothes or something more casual (Im not dressing up to go get cigarettes!) its the worst! =)Yeah, I started taking alprazolam daily last May. My starting dose was .25mg t.i.d. I had to increase it, due to tolerance, stress, and the addition of stimulants for ADHD. I was on 1 mg t.i.d. by the beginning of fall and soon after 1 mg q.i.d.
I switched to brand name at some point, and realized I preferred it. I was stable with the 4mg Xanax daily for a few months. I don't think I'd have to increase. It seems like my optimal dose.
My doc switched me to alprazolam ER, 3mg, 3 weeks ago. After 2 weeks when I had my recheck, I told him it did help at all, so he told me to try brand name at the same dose. No help.
I'm not actually having PMS now, just appears like I am!
