PMS symptoms getting worse?!


Question: I am 28 years old, and I have been on birth control pills for about 4 years. with the exception of about 6 months or so last year. I have gotten back on them and have been for the past 5 months never missing a dose. I have noticed in the past 3-4 months my PMS symptoms mostly that I feel more irritable and will cry at the drop of a hat (which really annoys my boyfriend). This is really starting to annoy me I am already an emotional person, but this is just getting rediculus. I'm even starting to cry just typing this.

take evening primrose. they are supposed to alleviate pms symptons.

Girl go back to your doctor - the dose/combination is all wrong for you! This is not normal and definately not your fault. Life will be much happier for you, and your boyfriend, when your pill is corrected. :)

lol, awww i know the feeling. thats my life. I was diagnosed with Depression and anxiety i think in 2006, and so from that i cry a lot, but on top of that, i'm a freakin mess when i pms. so as you can imagine i cry a lot as well. Just about every tv show makes me cry. Talking about personal things makes me cry. I cry everytime i go to the doctor. she probably thinks i'm nuts, well i am! lol. I would talk to your doctor, it could be the pill your on, might want to try a new one. I am in no way suggesting your depressed, i'm just telling you what i go thru, and i can sympathize.

I get like that sometimes, even with birth control. I would say you're just having a few bad months. If you live somewhere where there are 4 seasons, it could have something to do with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). You should talk to your doctor about it and maybe they could help you. There is always a possiblility of PMDD, too, which can be dangerous. As for my advice, I would try evening primrose oil, calcium, and possibly st. john's wort. They all help to regulate your moods. Best of luck.
