Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS) Support Group
Premenstrual Stress Syndrome (PMS) is stress which is a physical symptom prior to the onset of menstruation. PMS is exceedingly common, occurring in 75% of women of reproductive age during their lifetime, characterized by symptoms of mood swings, depression, anxiety and irritability. It is often accompanied by physical symptoms such as bloating and cramping.
the first couple of months were great, i just had less of an appetite, but it was helping my pmdd and it was nice.
well now i am into my 3rd month and everything went to shit.
i have horrible emotional side effects. i get extremely depressed, i cry all the time,and i am anxious about everything.
i didn't really notice those, my boyfriend pointed it out because i was acting crazy.
then a couple of weeks ago i started getting a little nauseous, not too bad, but it has been getting progressively worse, but i think that it is because i am dehydrated, which is from the yaz also. i am drinking tons and tons of water and my mouth is still completely dry.
and i am having small headaches which aren't bad, but terrible terrible hot flashes. i had a nightmare last night that i was burning in this huge fire, and i woke up and i was so hot. it was awful.
i guess i am going to get a blood test to see if they can change the hormones around but it really really sucks and i want to get off of it. but then i wouldn't know what to do about my pmdd. 8[

I hope you find something else that is a good fit. I tried the Ring for a month..but it did not work for me either I got more depressed. I read horror storied on it, I don't want to try any BC method, other than condoms :0(.
Doc. said I have depression as well as PMDD. It might not be able to help me then. Reading all those -ve effects on you has already scared me half death. I knew how it felt.
Oh, how about you try anti-depressant for your PMDD? You can start taking it 14 days before you have your period (if your doc. is willing to subscribe it to you). I have been searching long for the help of PMDD in internet. What i found were almost all medical websites' doctors suggested people to take anti-depressant (low dose) to control PMDD.
I have never tried it because I already have clinical depression WITH pmdd so I have been taking anti-depressant anyways...I think for my case, all i have to do is to increase the dosage. FOr you, again, you can try 14 days before you have your period. Not my opinion, I found it from medical websites.
Hope you are well. :-)
