Besides medications, you should get counsel for cognitive behavior therapy from a behavior therapist.

I've had success in preventing troublesome premenstrual symptoms by prescribing a low dose.of diuretic starting several days before the expected.period when fluid retention occurs. . Such fluid retention can affect the brain causing irritability among other symptoms & personality changes. Keep your potassium intake higher while on a diuretic by eating bananas, avocados, raisins,broccoli. Discuss

Your medication should be managed by a Psychiatrist who understands your medical & psychological history. If you are not confident in your Doctor please see another for a 2nd opinion. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help. A thorough examination by a Gynecologist could help to receive a diagnosis & recommendations for dealing with your period.
