I’ve tried Yasmin, but didn’t feel like it did anything to help me. I’m currently on a 25-100mg variable dosage of sertraline (generic Zoloft), after trying various herbal and dietary remedies. Sertraline is the only thing that works for me… The side effects (for me) are minimal, and it actually helps me sleep and doesn’t kill my libido. I know I’m lucky, SSRIS don’t work that well for everyone.

I came across this blog because I just wanted to feel like I’m not the only person on Earth going through this. I’m actually in the middle of my “hell week” and I’m feeling really helpless.

I decided to write because someone mentioned YAZ and I wanted to say that I’ve been on YAZ for 1 1/2 years. The reason I got on it was because of my uncontrollable bouts right around my period. I am a firm believer that the mind is the most powerful tool we have. During my bouts, I felt like I totally lacked control and decided to get on the pill because I figured if I at least knew when my period was coming, my mind was strong enough to deal with the rest. It worked for a while but as of the last 4 months, I’ve been getting worse. So, I say all that to say that between me being head-strong and taking YAZ, I was able to deal with PMDD for a while but as of today, I feel like I’m losing the battle.

Right now Im in the middle of what I call the “kelley monster” week. I’m normally a very happy go lucky, laid back person, but the week before my period I’m a COMPLETELY different person. I become very irrational and say things I don’t mean. I feel terrible, exhausted and uncomfortable. At times I feel so horrible I’ve contemplated suicide. When my period starts I snap back into my normal self about the second day and, it is as if it never happned. Every time I get like this I always have to ask “is this how I am every month?” My fiance has to reassure me that in a week I’ll be right back to normal. I’m thinking about trying YAz and if it has wrked for anyone I would love to know if it’s worth a try

I am really having a ruff time each month right before my period. I I am afraid to take medication because of the risk however I feel that I make my familys life miserable each month. Is there anyone who has taken medication for PMDD specifically YAZ.

Hi.
I have lived with PMDD since the beginning of my cycles. I am 33 now.
I like the remark you made about once it’s gone, it’s as if it was never there. SO TRUE. It’s almost freaky how that happens. I will even say things to my husband like, “I know it happened just the other day, but was it really that bad?” Of course he looks at me like I have 3 heads.
