A member asked:
Why do some women have such negative mood changes during a monthly period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multivariable: For some, the drop in estrogen effects neurons in the brain, making them retract. For many it is the exacerbation of an already underlying mood problem. The main symptom in 93 % of women is fatigue. A birth control pill may help. If you have regular insomnia, headaches from teeth clinching, etc, medication for anxiety can be helpful. Cymbalta (duloxetine) at 30 mg is a good place to start if insured.
