Hi Francesca22,
I, too, had terrible depression with BO & PM. So bad I ended up with a psych dr. I never realized it was the phytos causing it at the time until I read a thread on this forum. I stopped all NBE for 4 mo & just restarted recently. I'm on PM but added PG cream. It seemed to help this time around. It was also said that if you take FG & PM & you have headaches, increase the FG & decrease the PM. If you have irritability, decrease the FG & increase the PM. I'm no expert (Isabelle is) but I think it has to do with estrogen/progesterone balances. I have no periods so I'm not sure how one would go about it if you're still menstruating.
