So after discussing it on my last visit three months ago, a tentative diagnosis and a massive failure with the first birth control he prescribed, my gynecologist has finally given me an official diagnosis of PMDD. And as much as I hate knowing I have this, there's almost this relief to have someone agree with me, to know that I'm not totally crazy here and to have an official 'this is what's wrong.'

I'll be starting a new low hormone birth control after my next period and if that doesn't totally take care of the mental issues, there's a possibility I may be put on Prozac. I'd really like to hear from others who have PMDD, what you're treating it with, and how you're coping so far.

Thanks in advance!
