I seen my dactor yesterday for what I believe might be anxiety; RLS, Insomnia, and  very antsy feeling throughout my entire body.  He stated he had no idea what was going and ordered a CMP, CBC, Thyroid Panel and told me he could RX a benzo like xanax which I refused. I am taking Lunesta 3mg, and Valerian root as he suggested but these don't seem to be helping.  I've never had these feelings before and am very scared.  Any suggestions?

yes, it is extremely common for moods to change in response to  the hormone shifts that occur during the menstrual cycle. some doctors prescribe anti anxiety drugs during this part of the month...talk to your doctor about this if the anxiety is too much.
