I really appreciate this piece of writing. PMDD stole many good years of my life and I’m certain ruined many relationships. Things have mellowed since aging into perimenopause, getting on HRT. Magnesium glycinate and l-theanine have done wonders for me. Thank you for sharing your journey. Here’s to awareness that could save another person’s life and sanity.

thank you so much for this. that's one thing to look forward to about peri/menopause! i haven't seriously tried l-theanine but i think i will this cycle, as i'm actually trying to get off the zoloft now. thank you and i'm glad it's mellowing out for you!
