Yes, PMS can cause sadness. The most frequently reported PMS symptoms include irritability, fatigue, anxiety, nervous tension, mood swings, depression, feeling overwhelmed or out of control, physical symptoms of swelling or bloating of the abdomen or extremities, appetite changes and food cravings, aches, and breast tenderness. These symptoms may occur for several days to 2 weeks before menses but subside with the onset of the menstrual period.
If it happens for two or more cycles, though, you could have PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder). Here's an article about the difference between normal PMS and PMDD:

Depends how long you've been on the effexor, PMS can cause sadness, but so can thyroid problems, hormones, stress, other meds.
Discuss this with the doctor that gave you the effexor and you should be able to work this out. Maybe an increase?

If your on Effexor and it is not helping go back to your Dr and tell him. Maybe he can change your medication so you will start feeling better soon. When you are depressed it zaps all your energy so you feel tired all the time. Depression and tiredness seem to go hand and hand with each other.
Good Luck.

the body is not meant to be regulated by drugs... get off the effexor and start doing things that make the bodt feel beter, have fun, exercise and within a few weeks things will get back on track
