I'm so excited that I'm going to the doctor Monday to try to do something about this problem. It's so bad that my counselor thinks that I may have some sort of pre-period bipolar disorder.

Anyway, I want to know what medications should I talk to her about? I've read about YAZ/Yasmin these Prozac sound good, but they scare me at the same time. I just need help, and I'm willing to try anything.


Thanks,
J

How did your appointment go?

I tried Yaz for a few months but developed some serious digestive issues and had to have gallbladder surgery. So I really haven't been on an oral contraceptive for quite some time. I did take Ortho-Cept as a teenager and to think of it, my moods did level out a bit, only I gained a lot of weight!

Hello!
I've been on lexapro for the whole time. A small dosage at first but then she upped it about a year ago. So far so good, but sometimes feel can use a little more

All in all lexapro did wonders for me and no side effects.

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.
