so I think I need to take the PMDD meds every month now :(

Not sure if anyone remembers but I had posted about this a while back. I had bad PMDD since I had Brielle but thought I got it under control when I changed my diet and lost weight.

The past few months I noticed it creeping back. I talked to my Dr at my annual and she gave me a script for Serafim (sp?) which is basically Prozac.

I didnt take it b/c I wanted to see how I was that month... Well it wasnt good. It wasnt HORRIBLE like its been some months but it was bad and so was the next month but I got through it..

This week is the week before my period and I feel myself losing it again. Caleb is home sick, but feeling better so he's bored and I keep screaming at him. And I'm screaming at B b/c she wont stop climbing on everything and when I stop and realize what i am doing I feel like total and utter sh!t b/c I just yelled at a kid who  still doesnt feel great and a baby for crying out loud!!!

Re: so I think I need to take the PMDD meds every month now :(

  • I eliminated the need for it by taking lo seasonique and only having my period 4 times a year. Its AWESOME!!! I get less of a period then I did when I had the Mirena, and I feel awesome. I just had it 2 weeks ago, and I was also really sick from my sinuses (so that didnt help & my kids were home from school for the week) but my symptoms were totally manageable. Once I take my last pill I am Ok for about 2 days and then I start to feel myself change, and then it took about a week of pills to feel normal again. I am SO glad I opted to try this before using any other drugs
  • I take prozac for severe PMS and it has made such a difference. My doctor first prescribed it for the two weeks before my period, but it was so irregular she switched me to every day. I wish I had gone on it earlier - I am a totally different person!

    Mine prescribed it for the week before and the week after my period. I am really hoping it works. Did you notice that it took a while to see results? 

  • I can't remember exactly how long it took to take effect - it was not that long. Good luck - I know how miserable it is to suffer every month!
  • I was on prozac for PPD and it did take a little while for it to "kick in"
