I experience an increase in my PTSD during PMS, I also experience an increase in appetite, my insomnia is waaaaaaay worse, and my sex drive increases...EVERYTHING gets amped up it seems. I didn't have insurance until recently so I have been going to the local clinic. The doc there put me on a low dose of Elevil and when I went back a few months later and told him I was at least crying less and sleeping a smidge better (not much though) he told me "Good!" and decreased my dosage. I am looking for a new doc now that I have insurance. The hypervigelence and heightened startle response are worse during PMS too.
