    How long have you been on them at that dose? When's your next meds review?

    That dose since the start of January and next week isn’t a mess review but we generally talk about them anyway. Was previously on 1 20 mg a day as I was suffering badly from PMS. The increase since January has been to help with my anxiety about work.

    Ok. Hunni, they’re not like paracetamol where you can take 1 when youve got a headache or up to 8 a day if you’ve got a migraine. Adding an extra dose when you’re feeling worse isn’t the way to use them. You need to take the dose every day that the doctor prescribed and see how it goes over a couple of months - if they’re not helping then you need to go back to your doctor and either change the dose or change the medication, according to the drs prescription.
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I noticed when I started on them last April, I was getting extremely emotional over my period for at least 3 days I had no idea what I was so upset about. That helped but I can’t say I’ve noticed a change since the increase....I understand Paula, I’ll talk to them next week.

    Do you take anything else for your PMS? I know a lot of women use Evening Primrose Oil to help - takes a couple of months to get into your system, but it's really helped them.

    Never knew....I just went to the docs with my symptoms. I do take multi-vitamins but I’ll be honest not as regularly as I should. Maybe evening primrose is an idea. I’ve never suffered from it before you see, seems to have been a gradual thing over the past few years.

    How are are you? Could that be a factor?
