PMDD symptoms and estradiol patch

Posted by eliz on March 29, 2003, at 21:57:37

Hi-
I've been suffferung with brutal PMDD symptoms for a while, worsening over the past 4 years. I'm 45. Tried all kinds of natural remedies, then went to prozac for 3- 10 days before my period. This helped the mood and depression, but I couldn't tolerate the lethargy and sexual side effects. A new Doc just put me on the estradiol patch. I feel that it might be helping somewhat, but am also feeling jittery and nauseaus and labile. My partner gets scared (of my descent into some major darkness for at least half the month) as we have only just started living together- and his fear makes him back up which worsens my emotional reactivity etc. Anyway, my question is: has anyone out there tried to treat their PMDD with estradiol? And what was your experience. And if there are any guys out there who could send a word or two of support and encoragement to my partner, that would be much appreciated as well.
Hope to hear from someone out there-
Elizabeth
