I just realized I probably have PMDD-premenstrual dysphoria disorder. I've been severely depressed, irritable, anxious and self conscious every 2 weeks before my period starts. I do have some underlying depression & anxiety but am seeing a therapist to help with that. I know those things are not bad enough alone to make me feel this way. I also think my birth control is making the symptoms worse. I'm on sprintec right now, have been for a year. It was fine at first but just like every other pill I've tried some horrible side effect pops up eventually. I was just prescribed a generic form of yaz but am not comfortable taking it given all the horror stories. I'm considering Mirena or the mini pill since they don't have estrogen and I'm thinking too much estrogen may be my problem. (Though I've read too much AND too little estrogen can cause depression 🙄 ) anyway does anyone here have experience with pmdd and what has worked for you? Thanks!
