I've been taking Prometrium for a month 200mg a day and it makes me feel a times irritated, my fiance says I get real moody and my face has been breaking out (I guess because of the peanut substance used) I don't know if I really want to continue with it the reason I'm on it was because I need something to regulate my period --before I was using birth control to regulate but it made me gain weight and I didnt like that---But if its not going to make me sad or moody most of the time --I might just have to go back---I'm taking Prometrium as a trial----Take Care SHALEN
