Ask to switch methods if it’s not helping! Each one is different. You can also use varied dosages of SSRIs to treat PMDD, but they’re of course a little bit more difficult to get ahold of.

Birth control can induce depression and suicidal ideation. One brand of pill I was on fucked me up and I had only been on it for a week. Be careful

i had to switch to progestin only (the “mini pill”) because regular estrogen bc made mine so much worse too. i got angry when i had never been the type, and basically just felt like i was losing my entire mind. i’ve been on the mini for years now tho and it really helps
