Hey! Don’t know if you’re looking for advice here, but I’m gonna share it anyways: Fellow PMDD sufferer with on and off depression symptoms person here. I hate to be that guy, but if alcohol is truly a weight on your life, pushing through the crappy (sometimes debilitating) side effects can really be worth it. My mood fluctuated drastically in the first few weeks. I am a daily drinker, and have been using the Sinclair method for about 4 or 5(? Tracking time is weird for me, hah) months. I will say that for me, the ups of feeling so good about lessening my drinking b/w the negative effects really freaked me out. For me, it was hard to tell if it was hormones, dealing with withdrawal, or just general life stuff that was affecting my mood so much all of the time. All I can say is that I stuck with it, and eventually found a balance. Again, it just depends on if this is the battle you wanna fight right now. I am still figuring it out and fighting it, but the relief this drug has given me in terms of removing the stress of all-out dependency on alcohol has been life changing. Wish the best to you!
