A member asked:
If i am on continuous birth control for severe pmdd would i still need to take a ssri to eliminate symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe not: If you were my patient i would try you on continuous without the ssri, then add the ssri if needed. If you are already on the ssri, i wouldn't necessarily take it away just because starting continuous. You're doctor knows you best so i would take his/her advice.
