Low serotonin: It can be treated in many ways. A serotonin reuptake inhiibitor like citralopram 10 mg for the 10 days before each period might be sufficient. Evening primrose oil 3, 000 mg a day during that period could also be of help. Be sure you have enough vit d3. Take care of yourself. Eat healthy, take a good vitamin with iron, get a good night sleep, increase rhythmic movement through the day, destress.
