"i started taking lutera because i had bad cramps and my doctor recommended it. and it is by far amazing. i&#039;ve been on it for a year now and i haven&#039;t gained any weight, i have less acne, and i don&#039;t crumple up on the bed for a straight week anymore! but for the past few months, the day i start my period week my emotions have been everywhere. mostly with annoyance and frustration. i&#039;d cry cause i couldn&#039;t get the lid off the jar of jelly. i would yell at someone cause they didn&#039;t hear what i said. it&#039;s only for the first few days i am on my period. (sometimes it happens if i forget a day also.) other than what is recent, lutera is very good."
