Members don't see this ad.

i seriously think PMT should be classified as a mental health issue,some people dont believe it exists but it does
there should be some pill available to woman to counter act the effect of pmt
pmt is like bipolar gone demanted
one min your ok next you feel intense anger and everything gets to you.even a piece of paper on the floor,like how dare that paper be there,next your crying for no reason at all,then your angry again because you cant find your fork because its the only one with the yellow handle so u smash a bowl against the wall.then burst into tears again,then decide to go to the shop and moan under your breath about how slow the service is,then get mad when they dare to tell you that your just under the £5 limit,so u get angry again and the first thing you see is the paracetamols,so u scream you want a 100 packets.then realise its too much and say your settle for 1 packet.

if woman cant have pills then we should have warning stuck to us,saying back off i am on pmt

What exactly do you mean by PMT? Pre-Menstrual Tension?

Plus, I do my best not to read people's posts who are too lazy to even capitalize their letters. If you are too lazy to put forth an earnest attempt at basic grammar then you are probably too lazy in real life to put into action any of the advice/information you receive here.

With female pts complaining of mood swings, I always ask if there's any variation with their cycle, what kind of changes they may have noticed when on/off hormonal birth controls, etc. Occasionally they've never considered it... Sometimes changing their oral contraceptive helps, but I defer that to their gyn.

Eli Lilly rolled out a "new medication" 🙄 to deal with this a few years ago (coincidentally just as Prozac's patent was expiring, but enough about that... Hey--it was purple and pink--not yellow and green. It must be different!) 🙄🙄🙄

that is SOOOO funny! I can say (personally) my mood was dramatically improved on monophasic OCPs, because of the constant dose of hormones, plus shorter period, less cramps, ect 😉. I'd recommend them to my patients after getting approval from their ob/gyn, barring non-smoking, not hypercoaguable, not wanting to get pregnant ect, ect....🙄

I'm not saying it's not a legit diagnosis, but I'm not really sure it belongs in the DSM.

do you think that the worse the PMT is the longer and heavy the period is and the cramps are very painful,compared to someone who doesnt suffer pmt or has it very mild

hmmm, I dunno, I would think it probably depends on whether they have a comorbid condition such as uterine fibroids, adenomyosis or endometriosis causing the excessive 'PMT' along with menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea. I know it's cliche, but "everyone is different." 😉

on a side note, I've heard some women swear that being on hormones "makes them mental," so it really does depend on the person.

And it was in such an attractive box as well. 😀 Pretty flower and all.

Sarafem - such a pretty name and such a girly package! I don't get PMT but I think I want some. 😛

You can't have just one.🙂

 

[CaptainBluebear]

No - just imagine trying to promote that concept to a patient!

🤣It is sad, really... Initially, I thought it was an Onion-style joke.

I remember seeing adds for a pms product years ago and I still wonder about them. As I remember, it was a version of prozac that was taken the week before and of a woman's period. Since we usually tell patients that SSRIs take about six weeks to fully kick in, and that GI side effects are common and will often lessen with constant use, it seems really odd to me to have this type of dosing schedule if those things are true. It would make a lot more sense to just put a woman on a daily ssri, no?

Speaking of horrifying drug marketing, I still can't believe that there is a "Soma" pill. That is quite addictive. Irony?

Oh, and the ads that talk abot Abilify as just a lil antidepressant? Um, I think I lot fewer patients would want to "ask their doctor" if the ads mentioned the fact that Abilify is an antipsychotic. Course the list of side effects makes the drug looks so terrifying I can't believe anyone would actually agree to take it. 🙄

There is actually some evidence (by evidence, I mean what the seemingly intelligent guy at a lecture said) that there are 5-HT receptors which are actually modulated by estrogen, such that the SSRI acutely has some benefit as an SSRI, rather than as a chemical that somehow magically alters circuitry six weeks after beginning its use.
Don't worry, I don't know if I buy it, either.

Be clear, though, SSRIs work immediately to block the reuptake of serotonin. It just that the reuptake of serotonin apparently has nothing to do with acutely treating depression.
