A member asked:

I have been having severe menstrual cramps, vomiting, and fatigue ever since getting off birth control. besides getting back on it, what are my options?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Sounds like some heavy duty symptoms that could be pms/pmdd. Blocking ovulation can help (any variety) or your can take medications in the antidepressant family to help even out your hormones.
