Is going on the pill the answer to my murderous mood swings?

I'm on fluoxetine for Pnd. Recently I've been feeling like my old self apart from 10 days around af. Without those mood swings I would be saying I might want to come off ADs. Spoke with my gp and she has really pushed the pill on me.

I swore after the issues I had after coming off the depo injection I would never take hormonal contraception again.

Gp thinks I need to be able to have worry free sex with dh as this might be the cause of my anxiety. I really just want to not want to kill him or myself for a week every month.

I've had the prescription in my bag for 3 weeks. Don't know what to do.

I also struggle (A LOT) with the week before and first few days of AF. I wondered about the pill but when I tried it found it actually seemed to make my mood swings worse. That might just be me though! Best of luck whatever you decide
