A member asked:
Do you still get symptoms of pms if you're on birth control pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PMS: Birth control pills may alleviate pms but not always. There are conditions associated with symptoms of pms that need to be treated independently, and require antidepressants or anxiolytics besides the hormonal treatment.
