birth control
"My Dr. Prescribed Sprintec for hormonal imbalance, PMDD. (I'm 42) I take active pills for 3 Mos. Before I have a period. The first 3-4 days during the first week I get very 
nauseous a hour after taking. I started taking my pills at night and crackers help too. My breasts have doubled in cup size (not a bad thing) and are swollen and sensitive. I'm hoping this subsides after my breast stop growing. I have also gained 8-10#. My Dr. Prescribed a water pill to help reduce swelling. I think I may need a stronger RX. (I have gone off Sprintec in the past and the 8-10 #'s drop off in a month or less) Sprintec helps a great deal with my 
symptoms which include: Mood swings, headache, backache, painful cramps, depression."
