i've never been on the ball in this area anyway, so skipping a month is not a shock. and sometimes i think it's the aging of my body (which i am in denial about.) i pack on the fluid if i drink any alcohol or caffeine regardless of what time the month is. but it is true that if i skip a month, i hold onto some extra water until i finally do get my period and then i'm a lean machine. :-) so i do wish i was regular all the time for that reason, but i just deal with it. it could very well be the wellbutrin. but it's doing too much good for me personally. (now if you want to start a discussion about hair loss/growth, that's another issue! ugh. this is why i attribute all my symptoms to premenopausal stuff.)
i know lots of people do really well on prozac if the pms is too much to bear. (i roomed with a woman with severe-pms before it was even an issue and she had a doc with enough foresight to put her on prozac before it was even considered "the new thing to do for pms"... in other words, it saved her life.) just a suggestion.
