Advice on severe pmdd
Hi everyone, within the last year I’ve officially been diagnosed with PCOS and started suffering from what I now know is PMDD late last year.
For context I’m 22 years old and the PMDD only started last year and has been debilitating. Because of the PCOS my periods are irregular so around the time I’m supposed to get it the PMDD kicks in until it finally comes.
For me my anxiety wakes me up at 5:45am pretty much every day just instant shaking and panic. It’s so bad it’s caused a cycle of vomiting and then throughout the day I struggle to eat anything.
Most of the time I have uncontrollable sobbing and terrible thoughts and restlessness. I’ll pace the house constantly.
I also just recently moved to Houston from Long Island and have been receiving better medical care. They just started me on Sprintec and even though I’ve had bad experiences with the GLP1 in the past I’ve decided to give zepbound a try because I’m desperate.
I’ve been relying on Xanax during these times (only .25 twice a day) to just not constantly be in a state of insane panic. I also take Effexor 75mg which helps greatly when I don’t have PMDD.
Does anyone have any advice or can just share their experiences to help me feel better.
TIA
