u/BipolarGal

My psych believes I’ve got pmdd as well as bipolar, months ago when she’d added the diagnosis she’d said we in future could trial a brief antidepressant timing schedule (but this was like 6 months ago and we’re still trying to get me to a decent lithium and Lamotrogine dose).

It seems her new approach is birth control and she understands I’m not yet wanting to go down that route. I understand the risk of Hypomania for me can be increased with these meds but thought maybe she meant with both mood stabilisers I could trial to see if I tolerate it.

So just asking for others in the same sort of predicament, did you end up doing an anti-depressant? Vitamin? The whole anti histamine thing? Anything other than birth control
