Question:

The week before my period and the week of, I am so moody. I get depressed, angry, additudnal, edgy. Is there anything that I can do or take to ease the symptoms other than birth control. We plan to try and get pregnant again the first of the year.

Answers:
Yes. Ask your gynecologist about Sarafem, an antidepressant used to control negative symptoms brought on by hormonal changes (PMS). It is taken from day 14-21 in your cycle, and stopped the first day of your period (day 21 usually) so it's 1 week of meds, 2 weeks off. After all, you don't need it most of the month. And the dose is really low, not like the regular antidepressants.

I couldn't handle the PMS so I went back on the Pill. My boss would give me 2 "crazy days" a month because nobody could stand me, not even myself.

I prescribe chocolate.

PMS, honey, PMS. Some doctors will even suggest Prozac for PMS depending on how bad the symptoms are.
