Is there anything you can take the regulate your period?
In November I started taking Zoloft for my depression, and I don’t have any bad symptoms except for messing up my period, which I heard is normal. My period happens during a random week of the month, has gotten really light, and my cramps have actually gone away. It’s mainly the gross dry blood stuff when it starts, instead of red, and it only lasts about five days. I don’t know if there’s any options to help regulate it or not. There’s a tea I drink that’s supposed to help but I don’t know how well it’s actually working.

Unfortunately there's not much you can do as you only menstruate regularly when you ovulate regularly, unless there's a medical condition involved then regular ovulation comes down to overall health - in this case Zoloft is interfering with this process, all you can do is try to counter it by staying as healthy as possible. You can try herbal treatments such as Vitex (taken the first two weeks of your cycle, but only for a few months) or evening primrose oil, a good multivitamin might help too.
Before anyone says it: no, hormonal birth control does not regulate periods.
(stops cycles, bleeding on the pill is a regular withdrawal bleed not a period).
