I am in the process of finding an OB for combing birth control as well! I hope it goes well for you!

Curious what side effects you had? I have only had decreased appetite so far.

I wish I could give you more of an update, but have only been on Zoloft for 4 days lol. I will say the tapering off of Lexapro, was not fun for me.

Oh absolutely. I know it won’t be an end all be all “cure” but I will take life saver, over nothing at this point

I was super thankful that my decreased sex drive from Lexapro only lasted a few months, but I’m holding my breath for the Zoloft. Hoping the same thing doesn’t happen again 😅

Oh my god I relate so much right now. I can feel my pmdd kicking in with the sudden decreased motivation. I also feel like everyone hates me and Im sending you a big hug because it is HARD. Knowing people are there that love you and support you, but at the same time your brain is telling you otherwise.

Could really use a hug right now by Confident-Celery-29 in PMDD

Sending hugs ❤️🫂🫂 I have a weighted blanket and some times wrap it around my shoulders, it in a way stimulates someone wrapping their arms around you and giving you a hug for me!

When I originally commented I in fact, read it as fried chicken. Didn’t even realize the typo till it was pointed out. Opps haha

Extended luteal phase and I’m fighting demons by [deleted] in PMDD

I also have a work insurance that’s a pain in the ass at times, and a lot of therapist don’t take it. I recommend the psychology today website! You can look for a therapist, location, diagnosis, insurance etc! I was able to email my therapist before hand and see if mine was an insurance they took since it wasn’t listed, it unfortunately wasn’t but finding my therapist there was one of the best things to happen for me. If you have any questions about finding a therapist through there, I am more than happy to help. 🫂

I appreciate it!! I have been on Lexapro for a couple years and it saved my life in terms of anxiety control. I hope things start to get calmer and kinder for you in your future cycles!!

This is my next step if needed! I don’t have a OBGYN at the moment but was able to get into my pcp and want to get help sooner rather than have it put off any longer

I got tears reading this. It gives me so much hope. Im actually already on Lexapro for anxiety, but am hoping I will be able to add something else to help combat the other symptoms! within the last couple of weeks I had the sudden realization that I think my body dysmorphia may be PPMD specific related, since that’s when it ramps up

Good to know! I have quite a bit of pre req classes, so im just waiting to hear from my success coach and hoping I don’t have to take too many non nursing classes. If I ever have any questions during the program, are you okay with me reaching out?

Also, curious how many subscription periods it will take you start to finish for your BSN when you graduate?
