Hi ladies,
My GP has prescribed fluoxetine/prozac to try to help with my PMDD.
I am really anxious about the side effects though. Just wanted to gauge what others may have experienced?

I'm 45, and for the last two years, I've been experiencing surges of anxiety, cramping, and a general feeling of illness during ovulation. Today, I woke up and shortly after felt a feeling of dread and fear, similar to a panic attack. I've been pelvic cramping all day, and not just a twinge in my ovary like mittelschmerz. I had a pelvic ultrasound two weeks ago and it was all normal. I don't know what hormone is causing this, but I wish doctors would test for it to determine the best course of… read more

For some reason, even tho I’m on the birth control Seasonale where I get a period once every 3 months, I still struggle with ovulation pain and PMDD including bloating, pain, PANIC ATTACKS AND ANXIETY (these are probably the worst), exhaustion and even chin/jaw breakouts. Maybe I should up my Prozac from 30mg to 40mg? Any tips on how to manage PMDD symptoms?

After my laparoscopy in Oct 2021, I was prescribed Orlissa. I've notice my mental health is declining rapidly. I have a history of being on birth controls that made me have very manic depressive episodes. This time these episodes are more frequent and severe. I'm trying to determine if its the medication or if it's me.

Additionally, if you were prescribed Orlissa and take an anti-depressant at the same time, I'd love to hear your experience too as that may be a route I need to take.

Hi all, I’ve recently come off the pill just two and a half weeks a go (I was taking it alongside the jaydess coil) and I’ve noticed I’ve become REALLY emotional and things are getting to me way more than usual. I came off it because it didn’t help my pain, if anything it made it feel worse for me. I’ve had some really large mood swings where I’m irritable and then emotional. Was just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar? I’ve had a pretty rough couple of weeks, I returned… read more

I have been experiencing a twinging pain on my right groin area since my cycle ended last week and now I have stabbing pain in my right —well my right butt cheek 😞. I tried doing deep stretches and focus on stretching the muscles in my bottom. Any ideas for better stretches than just twist lunges? (I have two questions actually).

I’ve been on Seasonale birth control now since beginning of October and so far I think it’s helped quite a bit but I still get the hormonal symptoms (and PMDD) anytime my hormones fluctuate such as ovulation time and 10-14 days before my period starts. The fluoxetine (generic of Prozac, 30mg) everyday has finally been kicking in and helping with a lot of symptoms. Not 100% but a good chunk and helps me feel a wee bit more “normal”. The Ativan has been helping the panic attacks but the panic… read more

Hi Ladies,

Quick question, I've been on a few different contraceptive pills over the years and after my Lap this year my surgeon put me on Visanne.

I immediately began to get suicidal thoughts and went to my GP and went off it as soon as I noticed these thoughts starting to appear and I went back to feeling fine. Recently the pill I was on began giving me really awful headaches so my surgeon suggested trying visanne with a hormone patch for three weeks to slowly transition from a combined… read more
