Hello Ladies
Thanks so much for the info. I guess what threw me was the doctor I went to see insisted there were no side effects or health concerns with the treatment, I researched a little deeper independently and it has worried me somewhat, I will ask him on my next visit. I can't totally knock what I have been given, I feel so much myself but because I’ve had a lot of trouble with my symptoms over the years it’s hard to believe I've found something that works (most of the time anyhow).
PMDD survivor, it's amazing you’re still so active on here. That does sound like a very intense form and if I’m honest, not too far off from some of my own stories, which I'm perhaps not brave enough to divulge.
It was the worst from 2010-2013 for me, I think following on from that period, and after I realised what was happening, that I wasn’t just crazy, I tried (and not always successfully) to take ownership over what was happening through routine, diet and the odd tramadol. Tramadol stops pain and raises serotonin, I’m not saying it’s the answer and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with an addictive personality but I took about two a month to get me through the really really hard days. It was the preferable option to taking anti-depressants full time for me.
I feel bad for younger women who can’t make head nor tail of what is happening, I got through dance school in my teens and early 20's with regular break downs, I thought it was the training, now i know it wasn’t.
