PMDD

Post Reply New Topic

Where can you go to be treated for this? Regular doctor or gynecologist? They say SSRI's work for this? Has anyone had to deal with PMDD?

I was diagnosed PMDD by my Gyne and an Endocrinologist. I was on SSRI at the time and they didn't really make a difference. I wonder if undiagnosed ASD / ADHD made it harder to treat?

I also remember taking some type of tablet that made my periods less heavy, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was called. It wasn't contraception or a hormone.

I'd say Endocrinologists are the best bet.

I’ve definitely dealt with PMDD.
I don’t have any experience with SSRI’s as I think they are a bandaid approach and can further mess with hormonal regulation.

I’ve used acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine to regulate my hormones and therefore my menstral cycle and PMS. I still suffer from moodiness and I think my reactivity to it is due to poor interoception and poor emotional intelligence in the moment (the ASD components?), but it’s predictable every month! I like to pick fights haha! Eeek!

Get your hormones checked and go from there?
