I've been on birth control pills for over a year now, and although it's female hormones, I felt that I had to do something because my periods were so severe. They were so painful that I would faint from the pain, and I grew to be terrified of that time of the month. While the pills helped, it's still not helping me as much as I want it to. I also have crippling PMDD.
Would it be a good idea to find out what I can do about this? I know that taking SSRIs helps with the mental effects of PMDD, but should I also look into a different medication? Would taking a different pill change my periods? I want to make them as short and light as possible. =/
