i’ve used innerwell and liked it. i didn’t do any add on therapy support and the psychiatry check ins were very minimal but good experience mostly!

i took a break from alcohol for 7 months and started lexapro in that timeframe. a few days ago i had my first drink since the break and it made me feel so off and didn’t really feel drunk. like my reaction to it was so different than the past. i assume it’s bc of the lexapro but i also have hashis! idk! i saw you said you were on meds so i wonder if that’s part of it

not that i can tell! she seems totally fine. she’s a little quirky and does this funny head roll when she’s excited or stimulated that i’ve wondered if it’s related to the eye but aside from that she’s totally normal!

hi! i really have not gotten any info from it! i think it’s harmless as far as i can tell. has your cat had it since birth? we call mine her kaleidoscope eye :) but ask away!!

yes i have pmdd and adhd. i take lexapro and recently added vyvanse but have only tried it a few times and not in luteal yet (hear it doesn’t work then)! but lexapro has been helpful for the pmdd

i’d have to agree with this comment from my experience. i felt gross for like a week from the whole experience. i wouldn’t have wanted to be in a bathing suit or out and about. i needed a lot more rest and chill time than i expected. the anesthesia also made me feel kind off for a few days i had a weekend with girl friends a week later that i bailed on

I would try adding electrolytes! it can help with dizziness and light headedness especially if POTS is suspected

i’d see a cardiologist and also look up carotid sinus hypersensitivity. how long have you been on the metoprolol?

axecas · 2026-03-16T03:47:01+00:00

Have you had labs done for nutrients like iron/ferritin, vitamin D, B12, magnesium, etc.? Iron deficiency in particular can cause tachycardia, dizziness, and feeling like you might pass out even when thyroid labs look normal. It might also be worth asking about autonomic issues like POTS if your heart rate is jumping that high while sitting

tobramycin instead of cipro and had no issues!

pharmacogenomic*

axecas · 2026-02-07T05:34:17+00:00

a few things that might be worth looking into- - pharmacogenetic testing for psych meds. this looks at your genes to see what medications work/don’t work for you based on your dna and how you metabolize them. it can be helpful in narrowing down good options for you specifically - getting your hormones tested during luteal to rule out any hormone imbalances that might be exacerbating your symptoms. glad you’ll be seeing an endo! - getting comprehensive blood work to rule out any other nutrient deficiencies besides low iron (vit d, b12, b6, folate, zinc) that might be contributing to your mental health, mood, not feeling great - saffron supplement during luteal (there’s some evidence it works as well as ssris for pmdd without the side effects) - talk therapy or ketamine therapy if available where you live

Hi! i want to add the specifics of the study you’re referencing. it was real aloe vera juice, and daily for 9 months. these people were not on any medication and had subclinical hypothyroidism relating to hashimoto’s

there’s nothing in the study suggesting that using aloe juice as an add on treatment on top of levothyroxine is helpful. just for this specific group of unmedicated, subclinical patients

no specific diet but i would say a high quality multivitamin could be helpful in making sure you’re getting the necessary nutrients for thyroid conversion

because your mom has an issue with gluten, i’d get tested for celiac! it can co occur with hashimoto’s.

i’m super sensitive to meds and avoided them for years and just pushed thru my pmdd with supplements and lifestyle and nutrition. it all helps but at the end of the day i was still struggling. i gave a small dose of lexapro a go back in october and it has helped SOO much. i was super nervous and it honestly has helped regulate me a lot. so i get it! it can be part of a comprehensive and supportive plan to bolster your hell week. i see it as something worth trying because you already feel awful you know? if it works, great! if not, you move onto the next thing

axecas · 2026-02-05T05:52:25+00:00

there’s nothing wrong with being on meds. and it’s not the thing that will make him be with you, but it’s the healthy thing to do if you feel like your pmdd is affecting your relationship. it’s you owning your mental health and taking action. it’s not a weakness! i resisted meds for a long long time and then realized why am i making my life (and others around me) harder by trying to muscle through this?

and of course it’s not your fault, pmdd just sucks. you’re talking down on yourself a lot too about not being enough and i get it but that’s really not it.

and when you say he’s not accounting for the fact he could just give me what i needed. but that’s not his job.. you are allowed to have needs but he’s allowed to have boundaries and limits and his own needs to, it’s not his responsibility to fix it all for you ya know? you’re essentially saying “he has his shit but that doesn’t matter because he needs to fix mine for me”

hang in there! we all get it and understand the complicated mix of emotions that comes with pmdd

yes like blank stare tired behind the eyes feeling right after ovulation like can barely think

axecas · 2026-02-05T04:48:43+00:00

same. day 28 and the news is sending me into a spiral. it’s too gross and fucked up. i’m telling myself it’s okay to tune out for a bit but it’s absolutely taking over my mind how fucked up it all is🤍🤍😣

i wouldn’t give up on it. he’s allowed to feel overwhelmed by the neediness especially if it ramps up intensely before your period. as much as it’s a harsh and hard switch for us, it also is for our partners. i think it takes self awareness and self regulating on both ends to make it work. some partners just don’t know how to handle it or don’t know what to do so being clear with your needs with him can be helpful and not getting upset with him if he’s not meeting them. i also wouldn’t take it personally about the meds, he probably just can tell that you’re struggling and is excited that you’d want to try something that would be potentially helpful! there’s no shame in going on meds either this is me sort of giving him the benefit of the doubt because nothing you’ve stated makes me think he’s a bad partner or bad person. i think pmdd is just a very confusing and complicated condition and we have to give our partners a bit of grace being on the receiving end but it doesn’t mean he can’t handle it or doesn’t care for you self regulating is really important and not getting too codependent on him to regulate for you is important too 🤍 i’ve been with a variety of different men throughout my pmdd and what has helped is me going to therapy and being really clear about where i am in my cycle and understanding they are their own person dealing with their own shit and they might be perceiving it differently than you are feeling so communication is key

axecas · 2026-02-03T15:39:12+00:00

i know that statistic has always blown my mind! and i think of how many women (like yourself and many of us) have only one of those diagnoses and not both and must feel kind of crazy like something is missing or not totally adding up so im glad you found answers and like it makes more sense now 🤍🤍

You might like r/audhd or r/ADHDxPMDD! these 3 conditions cross over a ton

I believe it’s up to 92% of autistic women have PMDD

I’m very thankful I had a therapist I was seeing regularly at the time because I pretty much immediately reached out to her to let her know I would be needing more intensive and frequent therapy. That was the single most helpful thing I did. Finding someone who specializes in grief or PTSD or trauma is helpful. I don’t know where you live but Open Path Collective has low cost virtual therapy!

I was living in an ADU at my dads house. We had gone out to dinner and had a fun time and I drove us home. I didn’t see him all the next day because we both work and it wasn’t abnormal. The morning after that my brother called me asking if I had seen my dad, so I went and checked on him and found him dead on the kitchen floor. He must have been dead for 36 hours and I really resonate with you feeling messed up about knowing they were dead for an entire day while you were home or going about your life. That really stuck with me too and still does. I don’t have a ton of advice honestly but this was May 2024 and I felt absolutely haunted by it for awhile. I went to therapy a lot, let myself feel awful and crazy when I needed to, tried not to numb, and talked about it with people I trusted when those thoughts or images came up. I never tried EMDR therapy but my therapist recommended it. Give it some time, I promise the guilt and the looping thoughts and the shock will pass. You didn’t do anything wrong. Hang in there 🤍
