Extreme PMS? Like - monstrously bad mood swings?

Question

I can tell when my period is coming.

Because I feel like tracking down motorists who don't cycle and showing their heads into a woodchipper.

I get super mad about nothing.

I'll think about curb-stopping somebody for dropping a pen in class.

It's bad.

Really really bad.

I'm not really all that angry or manic or whatever when I'm not PMSing.

But it's fricking dangerous when I am. Brutal. Brrrrutal.

Are there medications to help with the mood swings? They're more severe than most. I have a ****-for-brains physician (it took another doctor about 13 minutes to diagnose my stomach condition - after 7 appointments with her) who's all hippy and believes it's a state or mind. Or that I'm exaggerating. She did give me some antidepressants to use around that time of the month but I didn' t get the pills refilled because they didn't do anything to help. They just gave me mild headaches.

Is there anything I can do?

Talk to your physician, he can prescribe you quality medication.

Answer 3

lol. ok first of all, i go through the same exact thing! How old are you by the way? I used to get mood swings and severe pain ever since i first got my first period! Now that i'm 16, i still get extreme PMS and bad pains. Just like you described, i'd even come home from school or something. lol.. don't laugh, but i'dcry so much cuz it would just be way tooo painful. I'd brink advil and chamomile but that wouldn't help either! Oh and i forgot to mention about the PMS's. well, ok, at least your mom gets that your PMSing! i always know when i'm getting my period for the same reasons you stated. So when i get angry.. and just start screaming like crazy to the extent of throwing something at somebody (ltierally.. lol..) i'd try to explain that i'm getting my period real soon but my sisters think that's just an excuse... yup, very mean of them.

Anyway, i have a feeling that you might actually have endometriosis. Next time you go to your physician, ask if you might have that.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Change your doctor immediately, and try birth control.

edit-it's worth a try. It made my periods lighter and shorter, and reduced PMS symptoms including moodswings.

Answer 5

I was the same ....I control it with Evening Primrose Oil, its great ....my kids and husband can actually HAVE a conversation without me biting their heads off!

As for the doctor prescribing anti-depressants for that time of the month only ...what the...?  They generally take about 6 weeks taking them EVERYDAY to even begin to have any effect at all.  They also come with a ton of side effects.



Evening Primrose Oil comes with no serious side effects, it can be great for dry skin and is good for your complextion too!  Worth a try me thinks!
