you are doing all the right things, just take it and go to bed so you do not have to deal with all the discomforts.\n\nand keep yourself covered up and warm, and stay in bed

I don't either --- but I have begun eating these little fibre disk and am getting more regular.  i also feel better.  i often wander if this is why I have so much PMS because just before my period I have a biggy and then start.  after that I begin to feel better.  Try the fibre and drink a lot of water.

I had this after my oldest daughter, for about 9 months to a year. It was the most awful thing I ever had and wouldnt recommend it to anyone. \n\nI bled every day EVERY DAY for almost a year\nI got pregnant and miscarried\nDecreased sex drive (kind of goes with teh constant bleeding/spotting)\nMoody, like PMS that never truly goes away\n\nI've talked to other women who didnt have the side effects I did, so I guess this doesnt happen to everyone. But this is what it did to me.

I took the same dosage, and it works well for me.  It made me feel funny the first time, but now I can take it and feel ok.  I don't take it regularly, only when I'm really anxious and can't sleep, or I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack.  Good luck, I hope it helps you!

I've been on it for about 4 months and I love it.  No pain and best of all no PMS symptoms.  Side effects I've had included forgetfullness and diarrea.  Also, a few migraines, but I had those before as well.  I also love not having a period.\n\nI tried Lupron too, but it made me crazy.  Headaches every day and wicked mood swings.

I am presuming you are going through this mystical journey right along with the rest of us, huh?  Well, there is no set age or time for women, it's all according to each individual woman's body. For me, sometimes I feel miserable, other days I'm fine. My worst symptoms are frequent major headaches, change in body temperature and some mood swings. The "monthly visitor" hasn't completely stopped coming around but I can't wait till it happens.  Meanwhile, we all gotta cope......LOL

I've been on Wellbutrin 300mg daily for at least a year now.  I haven't gained any weight...or lost any for that matter.  I'm just as nympho as ever!

For heavens sake, you won't take the advice of a bunch of people you don't know and who don't know either you or your condition? \nGET YOURSELF TO AN ENDOCRINOLOGIST, you could seriously damage yourself if you get the dosage wrong!!!

Yes, I've recently been diagnosed within the past two years with Hashimoto's disease (hypothyroidism).  My symptoms were weight gain that would not come off, depression, crying for no reason...I felt like I was literally losing my mind!!  It was like my life was spinning out of control.  I thought it was clinical depression, so I went to my doctor and found that it was my thyroid.  I'm now on levoxyl and am feeling soooooooo much better!!

As Dr lentfer said it is now off the market and largely unavailable. I have taken it in the past for weight loss and alertness and found it to definitely reduce my appetite and also improve my alertness, but I also felt very nervous, had "palpitations" and had trouble sleeping even up to 16 hours after taking it! I do not recommend it, I feel the ill effects are worse than the benefits.

Oh, honey, I am so sorry!  This is exactly why I had to go off the pill.  You would think it would make you more even-tempered, but NO.  At least not in my case, and apparently not in yours, either!  That's not to say I don't still have PMS ... but one thing that helps is being able to know what it is.  When you know you're reaching that time of the month, prepare yourself & your family!  As soon as I can tell myself (and my family) that I'm in a foul mood due to PMS, I feel like I can better control it.  Other than that, I would say you can ask your dr. if it's okay to take things like St. John's Wort, or if he has other suggestions.  He may suggest a lower dose of the pill, but it sounds like you've already tried that.  But he may have other suggestions as well.  I feel for you ... it's not fun for anybody!

I had a horrible time getting off it.  It was really bad.  I've never felt that depressed in my whole life.  It's because your body forgets how to produce seratonin when you're on it and when you wean yourself off it takes a while for your body to start to produce them again.

I'VE HAD BI-POLAR DISEASE FOR YEARS.  I HAVE BEEN PUT ON EVERYTHING FROM PROZAC TO LITHUM.  A YEAR AGO I GOT A DIFFERENT DOCTOR.  HE PUT ME ON A COMBINATION OF TRILECTAL 600 MG, ABILIFY 30 MG AND LURICA 100 MG. I KEEP AN EVEN BALANCE IN MY UPS AND DOWNS MORE THEN I EVER HAVE AND THIS IS THE BEST I'VE FELT IN SEVERAL YEARS.  I HAVE NO SIDE EFFECTS FROM THESE DRUGS.  BUT REMEMBER EVERYONES SYSTEM IS DIFFERENT, WHAT WORKS FOR ONE PERSON MIGHT NOT WORK FOR ANOTHER.  HOWEVER, YOU COULD ASK YOUR DOCTOR TO TRY YOU ON THESE COMBINATIONS.  FIRST HE WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT ALL YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES AND ANY OTHER MEDS YOU'RE ON TO SEE IF THIS COMBINATION IS RIGHT FOR YOU.  IF IT IS, GREAT! TRY IT.  IT MIGHT BE A LIFE SAVER FOR YOU, AS IT HAS BEEN FOR ME. HUGS!

As someone who was laid off work once for a hormone imbalance, I can tell you, hormones can make your life pure h*ll.  One second your okay (you think) and the next thing you know your a raging b*tch for no reason.  It really gave me sympathy for women.  I now have my thyroid/pituitary gland problems under control, but I still remember it.

I take Lyvoxil. It is a prescribtion though. I stopped taking it because it made me so sick. I feel more better off of it then I did on it. I had more symptoms of low thyroid on the medication then I did off. I still don't take it. \n\nI am looking for a natural thyroid supplement. I've heard they give you better results\n\nGod Bless!

try lamictal its an anticonvulsant has worked great for me few side effects if any thanks perfectsecret for elaborating a little more the rash does need to be watched out for i have been takeing lamictal for eight years and out of the fifty plus meds i have been through this has been the constant leveling mood stabilizer that i havent developed a resistance to . with depakote i had a lot of weight gain and felt very lethargic i also had to keep a check on my liver every six months. a co-op between a counsoler,psychriast,phycician, and pharmacy might be helpful good luck
