Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS) Support Group

WE ARE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU....TAKE CARE AND MANY HUGS XOXOXO.DO YOU TAKE ANY MEDS THAT HELP??

Celexa and counseling, at 40mg but symptoms still occur but seem to be post-menstrual, we are still working on adjustments and positive thinking tools. Prior to this was prozac with pulse dose 10 days prior to onset of menstruation.

I have PMDD too, and have been trying to find a treatment that works. I've just started Prozac and am hoping it will help.

Good morning, heading out on the road. I have taken prozac and for many years worked but took two during the ten days prior to my period. Of course I counted the days and knew when I was "out of wack" could confirm that it was PMS squared/PMDD to know that I was not just a "B" .... then once I lost my job and had time to get to know me better, the financial stress, the PMDD seemed to be more than the normal 10 days prior. I sought help through the state, since now uninsured, and started with Celexa, now 40mg. but strangely it seems my symptoms are during and after my period???? well I see the doctor on 3rd of Sept. Also, ativan is helpful in calming my thoughts and feelings.

peace and thank you for your support.

I think I suffer from PMDD -dont know where to go for help. Doctor says to go on the combined contraceptive pill- not happy about this.

There is some good information on-line. I am not taking birth control so don't know much about the results, when I was young I did and now just turned 48 and still have symptoms that are not fun. Try what is suggested. I was able to write some thoughts done during PMDD and shared that with my doctor. I do not feel the same feelings or their intensity when my PMDD is "off". I keep trying on the next.

Im going to see a reflexologist. I also dont want to take birth control as we have been trying for a family (been trying for 15 months with no joy)
