    My time of the moth is awful and throws me into the worst depression and anxiety. Hang in there. Is your Dr going to raise your medication cause 15 is so low?

    Hi Star. Really sorry to hear your struggling. The time of the month used to make my anxiety much worse!!, Take heart love , you've been feeling better until THAT came along .once it's gone you'll begin to feel better again . The floux is still adjusting , but it can't help with periods. You'll be OK star. Were all here to support you. If your able to , jump back into bed with a hot water bottle, and sleep a while , hope this helps you, love and huge hugs !! Xxxxxxxx

    Hiya star... bless you, I know how well you have come on since starting this med, don’t come of now or drop down your meds, as you will feel worse again if you either go up or down, just remeber that..

    For ME it wasn’t untill I was on 60mg to feel at my most best, that’s me.. 15 is low, most go on to 20mg and find that works for them..but I know your sentive to the med, but if you can manage 20mg, do go up, and see if that helps you better, but as Iv told you b4 don’t jump up and down as your body won’t know if it’s coming or going... but each time of the month you may just feel low, and nothing will help that, but keep in your head that it is short lived and you will go back to feeling good again, I was telling Pam the other week that I was having a low day, we are not robots and hormones are all over the place some times, I put my low days down to going through menopause, but I always no it won’t last b4 I feel fine again..

    Your doing good chic, keep it going, keep in touch on here as you know we are here for you..

    Think of tomorrow, not what today is like, and I’m sure u will be fine, big hug to you 🤗xx
