i am really glad im getting more of a positive feedback. thank you all so much.

ps. i also have pmdd. and i heard that it can help with that too.

I've taken two different kinds of anti-depressants, pretty much for the whole anxiety/shutting up my mind reasons. They take a little while to kick in, but the results for me were unbelievable. I was riding in the car one day and I suddenly realized that it was quiet inside my head! Never happened before. The thing to remember, though, is that going on pills is a process, and you will be going through a lot of internal changes. Remember to talk to your doctor about everything that you're going through, and if you don't like the changes your particular medication has made, request to switch to a different one. Finding the right pill can be kind of hit and miss sometimes. Best of luck!
