I've had PMDD for a while but it started to get worse with the Kariva. Hopefully it decreases the symptoms if anything, not make them worse! I'm already getting the headaches from stopping, but I'd rather have that than the psychotic feeling! I guess we'll have to see in 2 weeks on how I react closer to my period! I read your introduction, so welcome. I just joined too. It's nice to join a group that understands what you're going through. When I'm going through my bad week, I like to read other people's stories. It brings me back to reality that it will pass and that I'm not alone. If you ever need to talk, I'm here for ya! Take Care! Sat, 04 Sep 2010 09:10:50 -0500 http://www.pmdd-community.com/index.php/message-boards?func=view&catid=17&id=179#179 I have an absolutely amazing husband. He's my best friend, we can tell each other anything... we're very "we". Then, during crazytime... I just want to disappear. Sure, I've thought of suicide. Definitely when it was at its worst, yes. I've been on SSRIs a few months now and it's so much better. Less anxiety, less depression, not emotionally eating, less circular thinking. But moreover I really just want to be someone else completely. Start over. PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one? Just resenting all responsibilities, just want to pick up and assume a new identity and *poof*. Sex drive is of course all over the place, attention from men is suddenly very easy to achieve and fun to toy with, fantasies of cheating, of leaving, starting new flings or picking up old ones. Not just daydreams, but cycling thoughts. This part in particular I'd love to know if anyone is experiencing. It's very guilty, and makes me feel awful for all the wonderful things he does for me. I don't really want to leave, but sometimes I wonder if it'd be better for him anyway.

I've realized in the last year I've got PMDD after always having blamed my problems on birth control, and it all makes a bit more sense now. Zoloft has been helping, but I've still got a lot to work through. Having read enough messageboard posts online that I identified with, I decided to join here because it's really just nice to hear things that resonate the same. It's amazing how many people have felt the same way as me. For me, the hardest part is the doubt. I doubt every little thing, especially myself and my goals and relationships. I've been so close to just buying a plane ticket and disappearing, even from my husband whom I love dearly. Nice to be here. :) Sat, 04 Sep 2010 04:24:45 -0500 http://www.pmdd-community.com/index.php/message-boards?func=view&catid=7&id=54#176 I actually just got off of birth control. I took ortho-tri-cyclen for 10 years but migraines got really bad. My gyno switched me to seasonale, but that made me feel made all the time. I was just recently on Kariva (generic Mircette)for about 6 to 8 months, and noticed that my PMDD symptoms have become almost unmanagable. I recently just stopped taking BC all together. My primary and gyno said that the Kariva could be causing the symptoms to sky-rocket. So, I'm waiting to see if my symptoms improve. My doc said that some people just can't take BCP. You may be one of them Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:03:56 -0500 http://www.pmdd-community.com/index.php/message-boards?func=view&catid=12&id=174#174 Hi all... I recently discovered I had been misdiagnosed as having Bipolar disorder when I really have PMDD... I've been taking prozac for a little less than a month... My symptoms today were severe... burst into tears at work several times... almost broke up with my boyfriend... sigh.... i hate this time of the month... Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:03:48 -0500 http://www.pmdd-community.com/index.php/message-boards?func=view&catid=7&id=114#173 Ok, so after my appointment, they gave me Yaz and Prozac. The Prozac worked well, but when coupled with the Yaz, it worked wonders. Three months after I started taking the Yaz, my blood pressure elevated, my heart was racing, and I honestly felt like I was going to have a heart attack. *sidebar* I was having chest pains prior, but never as bad as these. I went to the ER, and they said that I had elevated levels in my blood that could indicate clots. The CT said I didn't have any, but I had to stop taking the Yaz. I haven't been too bad off of the Yaz, yet, but it's only been weeks since this has happened. I enjoyed finally having an easy period, and pre-period but not at the sake of my life.

It's been a struggle of a week. Been quite testier and feel on the verge of tears many a time. Hang in there! We are in this together!!!!

I've been dealing with PMDD for a few years now. Doesn't get any easier but I can manage better than when I first came on with it. Looking forward to learning and sharing with all! --Christina Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:47:13 -0500 http://www.pmdd-community.com/index.php/message-boards?func=view&catid=11&id=168#169 Just wondering if you have passed menopause already?
