lls_mutantOh my God, would this Big bang END already? Really, does the last 45 minutes of the show drag on like this???? Just tie up your plotlines already, people! This sucker's long enough!!!!!

kappamaki33, I haven't set the sucker yet, but I AM sending it before I go to bed tonight!)
In other things, I have some questions. Has anyone ever been diagnosed with PMDD? I'm having a lot of trouble with irritability. Like, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde trouble. But the thing is, it's clearly period-related and I'm fine the other 25 days of the month. It's just for three or four days that I'm positively unlivable.
The obgyn prescribed a few days a month of Zoloft. But when I went to my primary today because of a sinus infection, he said going on and off Zoloft all the time is a bad idea- I'll feel worse during the withdrawal. He recommended going on Prosac, which apparently doesn't have that effect if you go on and off it.
The thing is, I don't want to be on antidepressants- well, at all, really but definitely not for the whole month. I have my ups and downs like everyone, but they're also clearly defined and generally related to what's going on in my life. Not that I remotely think antidepressants are evil- far from it. But my downs aren't a medical condition except during those three to four days, and I don't want to take more medicine than I need.
Anyone have any experience with this? I'm screening comments, just because it seems like the polite thing to do in a situation like this.
