Having a Hard Time with My Mood Swings

Hello, I have all the symptoms for PMDD and I am on that new Yaz birth control pill. This still is not helping me with my mood swings. I am very emotional almost all of the time. I think I have one good week out of the month. This is starting to effect my marraige and my day to day life. I am wondering if anyone knows of an herbal medications or anything else that might help. I am going to talk to the doctor, but I really wanted to know what is out there before any medication a doctor has to provide. My son is now 18 months old and I had really bad mood swings before I had him, and now they are getting worse. Please let me know if you have any advice. Thank you

What can I do next?

Exercise, especially yoga. I do not know anyone happy on medication, so I only can assume that medication does not make you happy. Everyone has mood swings, EVERYONE. We all feel like that, you just have to find away to get through it, and it is not easy, and sometimes it just sucks, but it is what it is.

I'd love to send you a book and CD on healthy alternatives to treating your symptoms. It is all natural, herbal and organic. It is not something your doctor would know of as it comes from the Health and Wellness industry, not the Sickness Industry that he is a part of. If you are interested, please repsond with your mailing address.

I have found an unbelieveable cure for my mood swings! Kyani Sunrise. This product is all natural and is made from wild Alaskan Blueberries, the most potent source of antioxidents available. People at work have asked me what I am I doing? I have a glow about me and always happy now. Go to the and read the testimonials and the background of this company. Unbelieveable! Start taking it today and in a few weeks you will be amazed.
After reading Kathleen's response I must add that the 2 Kyani products that I have been taking are so full of all the vitamins and trace minerals that your system needs. They are helping to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, regulating your digestive system! They really are a miracle from Alaska!

Hi S.,

Have you ever considered that maybe you have Postpardum? Maybe when you talk to your doctor you could let him or her know about the mood swings before the pregnancy and after. Also, I got the IUD merina after child birth and it is now 3 months later and I feel like my normal self. I was having really horrible mood swings to the point my husband wanted to lock me in the room :) Just talk to your doctor and be honest...that would be the best advice any one should give as they went to school and have more knowledge in this area. I hope whatever it is that creates these mood swings gets better for you.
Take care :)

Omega 3 is really great for mood swings and St Johns Wart is Amazing. I have a handful of friends, that have completely gone off there perscription medication and are 100% St Johns Wart.
Best of Luck.

Dear S.,

I just forgot to send my message to you, and checked on another one so this is message #2.

You need to go to the doctor right away, and do not let him get by with saying that it is normal, because it has gone on for a long time now and you need guidance and help to get through this part of your life. If the first doctor does not help you, then ask him who you can see that will help you. Be pushy.

It is important for the baby and your marriage and for YOU too. Go, go, go. Now !

Also, never mind the herbal remedies, they are not tested and the medication that doctors give out is tested for safety and purity.

Please do not be one of those people who 'don't take pills' . After you finish your medical degree and graduate, then you can decide for yourself if the pills are the proper way to get you through your life - you have a lot of years ahead of you, make them as pleasant and productive as possible, and do not be proud. Trust your doctor or another doctor they have been through many many years of medical training.

Sincerely, C. N.

Hi S.,
The company I work for has an amazing herbal balancing cream that works wonders! I know quite a few women that are on it and had mood swings as a symptom, and now swear by this product. I can forward you some testimonials on it from other women. You can read about it on my website at www.findbeautifulskin.myarbonne.com, if you click on the link at the top that says "Products, Free samples" and go down towards the bottom of the page, they are the blue and green bottles "Hormone balancing creams", if you are interested in knowing more, send me an email and I can tell you the difference between both. I don't have free samples of this product, but there is a 45 day money back guarantee on it. I would love to help if I could.
Good luck,
Jennier
