Ladies, help me out with a needed prescription please

[ShellyLynn3630]

Ok, ladies I have my annual OBGYN check up in a few weeks and I am going to ask them if they will prescribe me something to help me with PMS and a really low sex drive. It seems as I get older, I'm 35, the PMS is really getting worse and my sex drive, what sex drive? We'll are any of you on anything for these types of problems and what are you on? What might you suggest I ask for? TIA

Are you on the pill? I found my libido increased once I went off? Good luck to you.

Maybe some kind of hormone imbalance? Maybe they can check or change your BCP to a low dose instead of a tri cyclic?

No BCP, tubes are tied.

Your doc will likely recommend some type of anti-depressant such as Wellbutrin or Prozac.

My doc told me extra calcium sometimes helps with PMS.

I believe there is a testosterone cream that you can rub on a thin area of skin (like inner wrist) and it can increase your libido. I am not sure about the antidepressants...sometimes they can decrease your libido even more.

I would ask to have your thyroid checked while you are there. What you are experiencing are common symptoms of low thyroid function too.

I second this suggestion.
