PMS what's good to help mental state?

[TwentyFourteen]

OK, my 40's not going so good, AF hormones seems to be taking my emotions to another level prior to AF arriving and AF very painful, bloaty and crampy, what's good to take to help manage more importantly my emotions? paracetamol ok for pain... thanks

Rather not go back on the pill if possible!

thanks

Vit B6, magnesium, evening primrose oil or Agnus castus is supposed to help. .
