BetweenDreams81,
That definitely helps. This is now the week before her period, so we are doing full-on Chinese herbs + SJW.
She found out her mother had a stroke a month ago, but her family didn't tell her until now so as not to worry her. She's going back home for a month after this week. She'll be toting SJW, bags of raw herbs, and probably a big baggy of magnesium citrate powder. I really hope she doesn't tank while she's out of town.
It turns out that she didn't like Kira, so we'll stick to Perika SJW. I'd say it helps a little with mood, but when her energy gets low, the depression and anxiety really kick in. So, Chinese herbs for general energy, SJW as a supplement. It's possible that SJW is not fully working yet, or she may even need a higher dose or supplemental 5-htp. Who knows.
Will look up the Planetary formula for Vitex. Thanks again for that tip.
> Hombre how are you?! well, I have not read the entire thread yet, but my immediate thought is Vitex (Planetary) When I am on Vitex most PMDD is gone, no hormone related mood swings...and without it I can be quite a treat to be around the week leading up to my cycle. B-6 in high doses really helps, but is difinitely an inherited deficiency from the female side of my family back at least 3 gens. she should take the Vitex leading up to mentruation and stop taking it during. Hope this helps!
