Benefits
I didn’t know there was such a thing as PMDD, until my GYN retired. I was forced to find a new one. I figured I had REALLY bad PMS. Every month my body and mind changed to such an extreme that I learned to put off any major decisions until after my period. During the first office visit, with the new GYN, we talked about the PMS symptoms; she told me about PMDD, said I didn’t have to live like this. I take Zoloft two weeks after my last period, until the first day of my next one. What a relief, I am me all month long. I experience “normal” ups and downs, not the rollercoaster I was on. I recommend this form of treatment for any woman with PMDD, don’t wait for your GYN to retire, talk to her!
