Birth control is all they can offer me. My symptoms may be a tad better w/it, but I am still suffering Big Time! Anyone have hormone issues or know what I'm talking about??????

Hi,
I definately feel your pain as I've been dealing with pmdd for quite some time. However, I'm also being treated for depression as well and so I'm already on cymbalta and wellbutrin. The difference is my doctor has me take cymbalta twice daily during pmdd instead of once a day the rest of the month.
I have heard it suggested one stay away from salt, caffeine, and sweets. However, I find that difficult to do= to stay away from the cravings. I certainly won't give up my coffee.
Exercise does help.
Meditation. Anything relaxing for you.
Like you, I just never had a good experience with the pill. Everyone is different. But for me, the pill made me feel more depressed.
My doctor advised me to take vitamin b complex, evening primrose oil, vitamin d, magnesium, fish oil, and vitamin supplement.
Check with your doctor and good luck.
Laurie
