Ive also had success with bk cohosh (40 mg) day.
Also try evening primrose oil..I take 7 days before my period..it really helps.
These are still drugs dont take too many, & watch for adverse reactions.
~Good luck

What PMS symptoms are these supposed to help with?

I don't have too many of the physical symptoms (tender breasts, cramps, etc), but I do get very moody the week before my period.

I just bought some Evening Primrose Oil and started taking it. I figured if I took it through this period and all through the next month, my next bout with PMS would be better?
