Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder

Leave a Comment

I was just diagnosed last week with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.  I knew that something was wrong over the past several months around my menstrual cycle, but I would push it to the back of my mind by thinking I was just being overdramatic. 

I have been experiencing extreme symptoms to where I can’t function 1 – 2 weeks before my cycle starts.  My hormones have been going crazy and I needed to talk to the doctor.  Due to the severity of my symptoms, she has prescribed Sanafem, which is a form of Prozac, for me to take two weeks before my cycle starts.

 

How do you know if you have PMDD?  Click here to take the test.  I have also included the symptoms below:

Check the symptoms you have during the week before your period:

Depressed mood

Anxiety, tension, edginess

Sudden mood shifts

Irritability, anger

Loss of interest

Difficulty concentrating

Fatigue, loss of energy

Appetite change, food cravings

Sleep problems (too little, too much)

Feeling out of control, overwhelmed

Physical symptoms (bloating, breast tenderness, pain, weight gain)

Please answer all of the following:

Yes

No

 

Do these symptoms disappear during or after your period?

Do these symptoms occur with most every cycle?

Are the symptoms severe enough to really interfere with your life?
