PMS..prozac or mirena? what is your experience?

[pixie54]

Just starting to think I need to do something about my PMS which I get for two weeks prior to AF. It has got so bad ( mainly mood swings, tiredness and extreme irritablity) since the birth of DS2 that something needs to be done.
What is your experience?

i still had pms whilst i had the mirena, the same as before.

Technically mirena shouldn't affect PMS either way as the hormones in it aren't meant to be absorbed further than the uterus lining.

Prozac does have some studies behind it as being helpful in PMS.

There are lots of other options too however - go see your GP and they should be able to advise more.

I have Mirena and am crosser than ever! Definitely wouldn't consider it to treat PMS.
