Does anyone suffer from horrible PMS? I sure do. About 2 weeks before my monthly cycle, I get very moody, cry at the drop of a hat, severe depression and Doctor told me I had what was called PMDD (Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder), which he explains to be a lot more amplified than PMS...It is really annoying and quite bothersome, since half of my month is pretty much depression, aches, pains and really bad headaches. Does anyone have any suggestions, or know much about this? Are there any supplements or Vitamins out there to help, over the counter?

Thanks, Weltz...I will stock up on that, then. LOL...I'm wanting something besides anti depressants...The Doctor keeps wanting to keep me on those and I don't like them.

I used too, but not as bad as yours. I was put on birth control pills until last August. I was on them since I was 19. Now it's only bad about every 2 or 3 months and I hope for it to be completely gone soon.  Hang in there!!  I put chocolates and Nutella cheesecake on Angel's thread if you want some. But be careful - she bites. |

But be careful - she bites. O h no...That's ok, I don't need any bite wounds...Just some cures for PMS...Mine has progressively gotten worse, in the past few years. It really is like a damn handicap. I only feel relief, once I actually start.  |

Femme, you have to start taking the B6 a few days BEFORE the symptoms start. Are you fairly regular?

If i have a multivitamin, that has magnesium and B6 in it, would that work? I have some Centrum Complete, but never take them.

You should start taking them daily.
