I suffered v. badly with pnd with ds which went completley unoticed by all health professionals. Had thought I was doing really well with dd (3 months) but am now noticing lots of sypmtons and am realising am not as well as I should be. Bad days have become bad 2 weeks. I need to put the brakes on this as it took so long to recover last time. Am trying St Johns wort but only for 4 days and apparently it will take 3 weeks ish to work. I don't want to have become a paranoid recluse by then and have heard natural progesterone might help but all stuff I have found is conflicting and unclear. Has anyone used it for pnd? Did it work and how do you know how much to use? REALLY don't want to turn to ads as I feel I might have an addictive personality if such a thing exsists. Would just rather not go down that route unless absolutley necessary. I now alcohol , choclate and caffeine don't help but they are all I crave currently!
