Does anyone have any information on this? I have suffered since I was 10 years old. It took me about 14 years to figure out it was all actually cycle related. As a teenager it was awful, I was in and out of psychiatric hospitals, on a plethora of drugs that I believe shouldn't be given to children. I was one of the ones who a week after starting prozac attempted suicide. Later in life I discovered mood stabilizers, I thought they were the magic bullet for me...first lithium, which I liked, but I stopped feeling anything at all. Then lamictal, which seemed to help overall, but I still noticed it didn't help when I needed it most. Around ovulation it hits, and the next 2 weeks are hell, especially the week before menstruation. Some cycles are worse than others, but about 50% of them cause me to have suicidal days. I would never act on it--the simple fact of knowing that it is NOT me but some type of imbalance in my body has allowed me to somehow separate myself and get through it. But working, school, anything I have to do is a million times harder. I have given up on traditional medicine routes. I think I have some hormone issues as I am hypothyroid, I am probably estrogen dominant. I have a very high sex drive. Something is off and I need help. Any ideas on supplements I can take to combat my issues?
