Really vile pmt every month, whats the answer?

[beanie35]

I came off contraceptive pill almost a year ago as it made my ibs worse, and also made me moody.
I feel much better now Im not on the pill, except for the week leading up to my period. I am absoultely evil, terrible mood swings, weepy one minute, screaming like a banshee the next!
I also bloat up and can't stop wanting to eat junk. As soon as period comes, Im fine again. Is there any really good solution apart from the contraceptive pill that works??
I can't stand much more of being like this,even if its only 6 or 7 days per month.

Have you tried starflower or evening primrose oil?

I swear acupuncture worked for me but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

sounds to me like you may have pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder
I suffered for years with it, trying every alternative treatment under the sun to no avail. The only thing that really worked was throwing myself at the mercy of my doctor (for the sake of my family), and being prescribed a really low dose of Prozac, 20mg daily.
It's saved my relationships.
feel free to send me a private message for support, a moan, advice.

Thanks for the advice both of you. So sorry Iva that you too have had to go through this misery. Thank you for referall to the website, will have a good look at it.
