Depression and PMT! Sorry Boys!

[pinkprincess]

Hi After keeping a journal I have found that my depression seems a 100 times worse before my period! Does anyone else find this too?
Any hints or tips except chocolate of course

I am not putting ideas into your head; or saying that you have this. But Premenstrual dysphoric disorder or (PMDD) is a less known condition.

Best to seek professional medical advice on these things.

I personally was prescribed SERTRALINE by my doc for regular depression, one thing I did find though, was that it helped with the pre menstrual depression as well. I always knew when I was due because I used to get more depressed a week before.

Setraline aparently is prescribed for pmt depression.

[greebobeebo]

I took mine in the morning, I put them beside my kettle so I never forgot them.

Its hormonal isnt it?

Just comin out of my post period miseries i feel real shaky felt same after babies real apathetic and Like i was on another planet

 

[greebobeebo]

I can honstly say that I wish I had told my doc about my pre period depression years ago, maybe then I wouldn't have been such a wench.

help

does it cause insomnia too as i aint sleeping and that is with sleeping tablets??

 

[greebobeebo]

My lack of sleep was as a result of the depression rather than the tablets, I take a different one now and still have a lousy sleep pattern.

feel real bad. just started p. yesterday so low. def worse around this time. and pains too. uggggggh then depression 50 x worse.

 

[Rosepoet]

worst easin off now. thank goodness. could do without pmt on top of depression. i find documenting the ups and downs of day to day gives me focus and helps me recognise the patterns and hopefully recover.
