Re: Does birth control help PMS?
Definitely take this query to the doctor!
From memory, BCPs can help PMS symptoms. It's a good idea to get your blood work done to check your hormone levels.
From personal experience, BCPs made my anxiety and depression much worse. I also have PCOS, as a result, my hormones are imbalanced so this was a contributing factor. Although, I was put on BCP because of my PCOS. Also worth noting is that I was put on Yasmin which I believe is one of the stronger BCPs on the market.
However, it is very different for individuals and it may actually help you.
Best bet is to discuss this with your doctor as he is the professional here and will do what he thinks is best for you!
Hopefully you can find a solution to this :-)
