PMSS and meds

[sascbrat30]

I am curious if anyone out there is taking and meds for PMSS.  I have taken Zoloft before but had very BAD side effects.  I would like to take med just around the time that the PMS starts.  With Zoloft I was taking it all month and gained about 20lbs. Yes it helped my PMSS and I was not really caring about anything.  Where I am always very aware of what I eat and my weight I just didn't care about that at all.  My family didn't get on my nerves about anything either.  Now around about a week before my period is scheduled to arrive I want to just hide away from the world with no contact from anyone because I get so cranky and hateful with everyone in my family.  My husband has got to where he want even talk to me during that week because he knows I will be a b**** about everything.  Please anyone going thru the same thing?  And anyone taking meds that has had a good effect or bad ones also will be appreciated.  I go to the OBGYN at the first of July and I am going to talk to him again about it.  I can ask about a certain kind if anyone suggest a certain kind.  THANKS!!!!!

Hi! Well, unfortunatly most meds for moods have to be taken all the time. I would try lexapro... I have a few friends that take it and I used to take it too. It's mild and should help. It's worth asking your doctor either way. Good luck!

I believe the one i was on that helped the best was sarafem (i'm 90% sure that was the name) it was for depression and helped to balance hormones too. I'll double check the name and let you know.

it is sarafem i was on. It used to treat PMDD. so it might be something worth trying. Best of luck to you.
