Girls, Is there anything I can take OTC for mood changes when PMS-ing?

[debbiedenise]

I obviously can take OTC meds for pain and cramps during my period. I eat different things and sometimes just want to eat different things during my period. Lately my mood swings are really starting to bother me. I am sure they have bothered others over the years. LOL! However, is there anything that I can take OTC for PMS? I am sure my boyfriend would appreciate it, and so would I. Thanks.

I meant to post this in Health and Fitness. It went back to sexuality. Whatever.

I like herbal teas. Especially when I'm cramping. But I just usually drink chamomile or lavender tea. I can't tell you which tea would be best for mood swings. But it might be worth looking into. I know there are a ton of supplements you can buy. But I find those too expensive.

@PrincessC16 thank you soooo very much. I will have to look into that for sure.

What do you take for cramps when you are on your period?

[debbiedenise]

Midol.

Sometimes birth control helps mood changes

[debbiedenise]

I had heard that. I am currently not on it. I heard that it might lead to weight gain to be on birth control though. What do you think?

[Paige90]

I have a hormonal IUD so I have very short or sometimes no period which is good. I have heard taking the pill causes some girls to gain weight. How do you have sex if you aren't on any type of bc?

My boyfriend has had a vasectomy. He is bullet proof. LOL! Shoots blanks.

[Paige90]

Awwwww I didn't think about that! You are fortunate he has had it done.

[debbiedenise]

Yes. He is a sweetie and a keeper for sure.
