It all depends on what your symptoms are. I get killer migraines starting 5-7 days before my period. I take migraine and general pain medication to combat them. You should talk to your doctor about your symptoms and see if there are any medications that could help. For behavioral changes antidepressants can help (Zoloft, Paxil, and Prozac are three commonly used examples). To help regulate your cycle and combat symptoms, hormonal birth control can help. Yaz has been specifically approved for combatting PMDD, or Premenstrual Dysphoria Disorder, but others can be just as helpful. Exercice and relaxation techniques, like Yoga, help some women. Seeing a therapist who can work with you on some techniques for controlling emotional issues and show you relaxation techniques to help deal with emotional and physical symptoms may be a good option. My advice would be to see your general physician or gynecologist and go over your specific symptoms and discuss your options. Ideally non-pharmaceutical options would be tried first to help minimize side effects.
Yes, I have gotten really bad PMS issues, especially with the mood issues. I found that taking B6 as part of a bottle of B Complex was very helpful. You can also find B6 in a bottle by itself.
Because of how bad your PMS symptoms are I would recommend checking with your doctor as well for even more information.
Well what are your symptoms?
Tea to relax is a good one, baths, heating pads, midol/pamprin/ib profien, ect..., massages, mediation, sex, hot tubs
Hi - I suffer from bad PMS, too.... :( After I had both of my children it got worse for me. Since I know it's coming (meaning my period), I really try and go with the flow....although that doesn't always work. My OB/GYN told me that you can take an anti-depressant during & before the symptoms occur. Exercise and lots of water help me flush out my "tude." I also try and stay away from carbs during my PMS, they bloat me. Good luck to you. I know how you feel.
when i PMS, i feel like my stomach is going to rip in half. i find sitting on one of those seat-warmers in some cars, taking a hot shower, and of course taking a pain-med. but dont OD in the meds. (heh heh, funny, but no so funny story) but most of all, i find not eating the most helpful, even though its bad 4 u.
