I finally went to my GP today about what I suspect is PMDD. I explained all my symptoms (depression, moodswings, suicidal ideation) that always seem to get significantly worse a week or so before my period started. I also have the Liletta IUD. My GP said that the IUD might be making symptoms worse because it is hormone based and our first course of action was to remove the IUD. She asked me to wait 2-3 months for my body to normalize and to track my mood and symptoms. If I still experience depressive moodswings and suicidal ideation, then next we will try SSRIs.

What treatment plans are you doing to help with PMDD? Did you have an IUD that made it worse? Did you find relief after removal?
