Worsening pmt

[lamamabin]

I've just spoken to a gp as I'm early 40s and my pmt is getting worse to the point of feeling suicidal each month. Day two of period it lifts.
They are testing my fsh as I occasionally get night sweats which are worse before and during my period, then seeing if I trial hrt or maybe combined pill.
Anyone have this and anything worked?
I'm healthy bmi, exercise a lot, don't drink alcohol but do vape if that's relevant.
I'm scaring myself and horrible to my little boy and husband each month, I don't want to carry on like this.

Sounds like PMDD. Keep a diary so you can predict the worst days each month and share the dates with OH so he is pre warned you will not be yourself and need extra support.

Some people take ssri’s like sertraline on those bad days or every day. A pill such as Qlaria which is the same estrogen as HrT or hrt if you are peri can also help. I am not medically trained btw but hope you get some relief. Its awful i know.

I could literally have written this about myself… getting worse, feel anxious before period and so so bloody angry. I can at least identify when it happens now. I also have the monthly night sweats.

I have read someone else mention that pill too, thank you

Horrible isn't it. I'm like a different person day two of my period. Shite being a woman
