Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

I have PMDD

Treatments

Oral Contraceptives Not Working

Took Yaz, and on my period I hemorrhaged.. Definitely not good. It really helped with my PMDD, but that isn't worth bleeding to death.

Prozac Somewhat Helpful

Good for overall depression, doesn't help particularly well with my PMDD though.

Zoloft Somewhat Helpful

Worked for depression for most of the month, but didn't particularly help with PMDD

Open ADHD / ADD

Treatments

Adderall Working / Worked

Works great. Only side effect I notice is dry mouth, which can be annoying, but isn't bad.

Concerta Somewhat Helpful

Worked okay, but adderall was for me.

Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

Treatments

Abilify Not Working

Did nothing gave me no side effects.

Cymbalta Not Working

Didn't work, caused seizures and "brain shocks".

Effexor Somewhat Helpful

Worked wonderfully, but dose needed to be continually increased. When I was at too high a dose (found out later it was above the recommended max) I got bad side effects, including psychosis.

Geodon Not Working

No side effects, but no other effects either. It did nothing for me.

Lexapro Too Soon to Tell

Couldn't tell if it was effective, I was allergic to it.

Paxil Not Working

I was prescribed this at 14, and it is not indicated for kids. As a result I became very suicidal and my self injury increased.

Prozac Working / Worked

Works good for me. No side effects.

Psychotherapy Working / Worked

DBT saved my life.

Seroquel Not Working

Did nothing helpful. Made me tired, gave me vivid nightmares and gave me the munchies.

Trazodone Somewhat Helpful

Was good for sleep, but woke with severe headaches.

Writing Working / Worked

Zoloft Working / Worked

Worked for a long time, but when I reached the max dose my doctor decided to switch me. I got NO side effects from it.
