Hello, I'm 20 and was 'diagnosed' with pms 3 weeks ago and as a result am now on Yasmin the contraceptive pill, I think it is too early to tell if it's working or not yet
My main symptom is my moods, the cramps and heavy bleeding are not so much the issue
It is the constant mood swings, the feeling helpless, the paranoia, the anxiety which all got too much and made me go to the doctors
I was just wondering if this was the same for everyone? If the mood swings you experience are severe? I constantly feel irritated or like everyone hates me or I'm annoying people and just feel down?

Anxiety and paranoia make everything hard, somethings almost impossible so I am so glad to hear that you have been to the Dr. Have you both discussed PMDD and how you are feeling about your med's? I have never been prescribed Yasmin, maybe somebody else on here wouldn't mind comparing notes with you?! All my med's took ages to kick in and even after they had, I convinced myself they we're placebos or didn't work. Maybe give it a while longer or ask for a medication review. To answer your questions....everyone experiences different symptoms and fluctuating levels of severity. Each case is as unique as the woman suffering them. My mood swings were extremely severe before treatment. Like I was possessed. I didn't like myself never mind anyone else. When I go into 'PMDD mode' I feel so irritated with almost everyone and everything. I cry at the drop of the hat over the silliest of things and when it's bad I don't leave the house and sometimes my room. I snap everyone's head off, slam doors and am extremely paranoid....sure everybody hates me and is talking behind my back. That's not even half of it. The daily record of severity of symptoms sheet and 'what's the difference' stickies found in the general section could be very useful for you to check out. I hope you find what you are looking for on this forum. Also, if you are up for sharing I would love to talk to you about your experiences. I hope things are not too bad for you today and I look forward to your reply. ~S |
