Do any of you suffer with pmdd each month?? How do you handle/ control it?? I'm pretty sure it's kicking in and I am so sick of it... I tried the Yaz almost a year ago but that was a nightmare, I couldn't even finish the first month of it.

I think i might... but never have been diagnosed. Might just be bad PMS. I was on YAZ... and i swear it was like prozac for me. i was happy and mellow all the time. Unfortunatley it stole me sex drive.

We were TTC for close to 2 years... so i just had to live with it. It sucked though. I would feel SOOOO depressed before O and around AF.

The yaz had a complete opposite affect on me, for the first 2.5 weeks I was so sick to the point I would have to call my mom all the time to come help me take care of my boys while dh was working, then a couple nights before thanksgiving I was baking with dh and boys and just started having crazy paranoid thoughts. By the end of the night I was just positive someone within my family was going to die that night; I was flipping out constantly checking on my boys, making sure my cat wasn't dead, texting my mom to make sure all my siblings were home and safe, that my dad hadn't had another heart attack... Ugh... one of the worst nights of my life... My mom demanded I quit taking the pills immediately, and I never had anything like that happen again.

to make my mood even worse tonight, i just saw my 2nd horrible accident in one week... monday my sister and i went to the outlet malls 20 mins from my house, and shortly before we got there a nasty accident happened and we had to see the car flipped up on its side, no idea how any of those people made out. then on our way home from the birthday party tonight, we had to see an accident moments after it happened with a truck upside down and a vehicle with a completely crushed front... and of course my almost 4 yr old saw both of these.

I just need to go to bed and sleep for a few days

I have suspicions that I have it, but I've never been dx'ed. I have almost all the symptoms. I was on bc years ago that seemed to help, but it made the cysts on my ovaries worse, so I decided to get off of it because I was always in so much pain. For now, I just have to be aware of my mood, and unfortunately if I'm not, my DF gets the brunt of it. I hope you are able to find something that works for you!

The only thing that worked for me -- was having a kid. I swear -- I suffered from PPMD since i was 13. Ever since J.J, I have been perfectly fine.

Before then the only thing I could do was keep people away from me and take advil. Nothing helped and BCP's only made me worse.

I'm complete opposite... I was fine all through my teens, I had my 1st ds, was fine for a few months, then I noticed it start and get worse and worse every month. Once I started thinking about driving into trees for a few days out of the month, I decided it was time to see the dr

Every month I'm usually prepared for it and can keep it under control, this month I guess I was so focussed on wanting to be pg, I didn't pay attention and it knocked me down quick. So today to lift my mood, dh and I are getting ready to take the boys to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch to take lots of pics of my handsome guys and pick some apples

I thought i did until exdh told me about a girl he dated who had it and how she acted. He said it was like a light switch would flip and she would become a different person. She took anti-depressants for it I think.
