▲ 1 r/PMDD

As im getting older, (30f), my PMDD/PME symptoms are getting worse each cycle. Early in life, my cycle never affected me- has this happened to anyone else?

Secondly, ive been in therapy for about 8 years and struggle with CPTSD, depression, anxiety and dissociation. These things have me crippled 1 week before my periods now, where I feel so numb and dont care about anyone or anything, anxiety and irritability off the charts. Otherwise, during the rest of the month I still feel sad, but nowhere near this numb, depressive and irritable like my world is over.

Ive stayed away from meds bc they give me really bad side effects, with my last trial giving me black box label symptoms- super scary. That being said, im desperate to find even 5-25% relief right now in any holistic form before trying another med or bc. Im picking up this supplement today and hoping it will do something. Has anyone taken this or something similar that has given partial relief during luteal/menstrual?

TIA♡
