Ugh, I have crazy PMS too which is apparently actually PMDD. It also lasts for 7 days out of my very short cycle (23-24 days) so it's difficult to predict in time to medicate just during that period of time. Which is why I'm on an SSRI all the time now. And I think I forgot to take it yesterday, whoops.
What do you take for your PMS? If it's something like Xanax or another benzodiazepine, most docs won't let you take it all the time because it's physically addictive and you'll also build a tolerance pretty quickly. If it's something like Prozac or another SSRI they probably will let you. Of course there's other stuff besides those two kinds of meds, but those are both really commonly use for anxiety.
