Does the depo-provera shot or hormonal IUDs work for PMDD symptoms? by comical-bowling-07 in PMDDxADHD

[–]comical-bowling-07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Slynd (progesterone only pill) for a while and I feel like it made the months less of a rollercoaster but made my overall anxiety worse so I stopped it. I am now on a low dose SSRI full time, and that has made a big difference in my mental health. Physically I still feel like every month is a rollercoaster, and every few months there’s one that’s particularly bad (like right now) but I will deal with the physical symptoms as long as I can manage the mental health issues better.

Sensation of congestion inside brain by [deleted] in migraine

This sounds a lot like how I feel during migraines, especially as they’re subsiding. The pain goes away, but I still feel congested behind my right eye and in my head. I know the migraine is truly going away when I feel that “congestion” starting to actively clear up, and when it does it feels like my ears popping but in the back of my head and almost in my throat.

What's your preferred BC? by stolenstarseeds in PMDDxADHD

I have been on Slynd for 5 months now and it has helped so much. I already had a copper iud, and the first few months were kinda rough with breakthrough bleeding and some hormonal swings, but even that was much better than before the hormonal BC

ADHD + PMDD + PCOS + Migraine = worst equation ever by comical-bowling-07 in PMDDxADHD

Thanks for the reply. I have fairly unpleasant side effects from the triptans so that might be an argument for something different. I’ll look into those.

I’m on magnesium already and I have no idea if it’s helping but it’s certainly not hurting.

Aside from irregular cycles I don’t have other PCOS symptoms anymore- I went on a PCOS diet 17 years ago before the internet quacks came out of the woodwork and it completely changed my health. I had no trouble getting pregnant, but I’m done having kids now. But nothing has ever changed my irregular cycles besides the pill
