birth control
"I had life changing PMDD.  I was out of my mind every month.  I switched doctors after my long time family doctor told me to deal with it many times and prescribed zoloft  for PMS.  Finally, a new OB/GY put me on Aviane to completely suppress my periods.  I am half way through my second pack and am feeling so hopeful that this might be my "cure".  I have actually lost 5 pounds which I attribute to not gaining my 5 lbs I normally gain just prior to my period.  I felt tired during what would have been my period but am feeling AWESOME now.  More energy, my outlook seems brighter, no PMS physical or mental symptoms.  She said I could do this for 5 years!  YIPPEEEE!!!"
