DD15 moods have been up and down since last year. I have noticed they are worse before or around here period. Gets very low sometimes, irritable, anxious, insecure, her appetite changes.

I am giving her vitamins, she is also seeing a therapist as there was some self harm last year.

I booked an appointment with the dr.

What else can I do? I read the mini-pill can help, which one?

Anything else that have worked for you or your daughter?

DD had horrendous pmdd and was prescribed fluoxetine. She eventually went on a combined pill levest and she started having panic attacks. She was then put on gedarel 20/150 which was better than levest but gave her migraines. Then put on desogestrel mini pill. The effect on moods was immediate but she had a continuous spotting and irregular bleeding for six months. Eventually put on Slynd , moods are positive and no bleeding issues. Slynd is second line so needs to be put on desogestrel or other mini pill first. She is doing okay now and has been taken off fluoxetine.
