Hello! I recently realized I suffer from PMDD symptoms--I had a hysterectomy back in 2011, so stopped taking BC. Stopped taking SSRI in 2013. Since then it's been a slow decline. But a year and a half at a new job that I'm not really happy with has made it much worse. So who knows if it's just still depression (had been diagnosed with dysthymia years ago) but it gets REALLY worse--angry, crying, hopeless etc for a week to two weeks every month; but since i no longer have periods I hadn't been connecting the dots. Finally started writing down on calendar and it seems to fit. Yesterday started taking 5 mg Lexapro to see if that helped. Need to go to ob/gyn-it's been a few years--and see if she thinks maybe need to get back on BC.
