treatment for PMS.......advice......please.......

[talcyone]

I am a time bomb, every month for about 2 weeks.
Last night i exploded, told DH that i didn't want to be with him anymore.
This is not true, but strange angry words keep tumbling from my mouth.
God konws how he puts up with me, i am feeling a little sorry for myself,and i know that i have been completely horrendous to live with
But i'm SO grumpy
Have GP appt tomorrow, dh wants me to ask for medication, antideppressants.
Had these before for PND and PMS, took a long time to come off them.
Have tried hard with dietary intake,stopped smoking etc.
Am on self destruct.....need some MN TLC ....advice ....please

Fluoxetene

is an effective low dose AD and is also prescribed for bad PMS, just taken a week a month instead of daily

wish I'd known about it years ago.

Thanks Sunnywong...
took prozac (is that the same thing?)every day before, lost my sex drive!
Will ask gp about lower dose.

hi there, i started a conversation on monday "iam really suffering with pms today" and rumpel recommended AGNUS CASTUS herbal tincture from Holland And Barratt.

I have started taking these 2, twice a day and was advised that i should see benefits within a month.

I really feel for you. I was so low and so angry at the same time on monday i wanted to run away and was having dreadful thoughts. I had spent the weekend critisising dd and dh and awful words came out of my mouth. What is awful is the guilt and i felt ashamed. I actually hated myself.

Once i come on though, i am fine. I too get it two weeks before. sometimes not at all before but 2 weeks after which i hear is common.

((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) to you cos i know what its like.

Thanks chopinrocks, i'll see what gp says.
Tried a different herbal remedy a couple of years ago but it cost a fortune, i'll have a look and mention it to gp.
You are right about feeling guilty and ashamed.....i'm behaving like a moody teenager,and it's like, 'i must be nice' for about ten minutes.........then BANG i explode........

because dh left kettle unplugged

Thanks for your TLC

Just want to cry for 2 weeks
Good job i can still see the funny side

my MIL leaves the kettle unplugged all the time

makes me effing ropable

fair grounds for manslaughter IMO

LOL Nothing better than a sit down with a stone cold cuppa to make your PMS all better!

Agnus castus with vit B6. (GP suggested this.)
I find it does help.
