In reply to PMS- Anyone, posted by noelle on July 8, 2002, at 13:00:04
I wish I had some grand suggestions, but I'm afraid I don't-- I just wanted to say that I have been experiencing virtually the same thing. I'm on 75mg of Zoloft and 30mg of Ritalin (Ritalin only during my working week) per day, diagnosed a year ago with ADD, depression and social phobia. The week to ten days before my period arrives are horrendous, and the anxiety is hugely magnified... yesterday I had to cancel appointments and leave work early because I was bordering on a full-blown anxiety attack. Today my period arrived and I feel shaky, but certainly more "normal".
It never occurred to me to ask about increasing the Zoloft during the "PMS" (this isn't just PMS) period... I'll be interested to hear what you find out and decide to do. And I'll let you know the same -- unfortunately my doctor's away for 2 weeks, so I can't ask just yet!
Good luck!
Lisa
