Girly question

Have any women out there found it harder to taper off a medication while on their period? I’m on day 5 of my latest Ativan cut and I know mid week is usually the worst anyway, but I got my period yesterday. My emotions and anxiety are all over the freaking place.

Thank you! I pray several times a day to help me through this situation. Do you like Joel Osteen? I try to watch him everyday too.

OMG...yes!!! He encouraged me to look in the mirror years ago, and say over and over..." By his stripes, I am healed!" "I am no longer depressed, and I clam this in God's name... amen!!!"

I like that idea!

Hormonal changes at this time can affect mood even under normal conditions. However do not look for excuses or reasons at this time. Consider given time your body will revert back to what it was before that Period

Ugh it sucks being a girl sometimes! Trying hard to stay calm and give my mind/body less reasons to freak out.

Omg, period is a factor, some more than others. Before and during, yes makes a difference. Take that into consideration and try not to let it drive the bus, do not let it lead the way, especially when it's that time of the month.

I feel like I’m trying to ignore I even have it and just take each moment at a time. :/

It's like larger than life in your head, whatever it is, thankfully it passes. We already have the other issue, toss that in, ugh. Us poor women:/
