Sorry guys, when I came back to do an update, I had forgotten to mention a few significant side effects of sertraline, I was forgetting things, totally out of it, unable to function after a while because of being in such bad brain fog. ❤ thanks for being here and I hope you found today's video somehow helpful!

For my pmdd I personally take a little calcium, primrose oil, bladderwrack seaweed, b12, and d3. I’m nervous to take pharma remedies for my hormonal balance, hope this helps someone!

Not the same thing that you are going through, I feel helpless with my ADHD but the medication does not make me feel good so I have to try antidepressants.

Well done Ilythia ! You are brave for having finished nursing school, raised your daughter and managed life despite debilitating depression.
I struggled with the worst depression from teenage and medication really is life- changing. Thank you for de-stigmatising medication for mental illness and sharing your story 😊❤

Awe thank you so much 🥹 I appreciate your kind comment more than you know!

Never took sertraline, but I was prescribed wellbutrin for depression and binge eating disorder. It worked wonders, helped me A LOT.

Karen here. Bupropion gave me back my life after having same reaction to Citalopram. Slept all day. Now its at night for anxiety and sleep. Bupropion (generic Wellbutrin) mornings after breakfast.

[@aliciamancuso5149]

I have similar issues, so it's good that you are sharing this, I have had major moods during my pms or during my period, I no longer get my period because I'm on the birth control pill due to endometriosis, which is another whole thing

[@thesimplechiclife]

Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@TalkingTiffany]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. LPNs are the same in the US.

[@majaerkic923]

Darling have you considered ADHD? It’s highly correlated to PMDD and is often misdiagnosed as depression/anxiety

[@amychen2504]

I have a doctorate and didn't even have a child and YEAH. Same same.
