It worked!

I just wanted to share my experience with Pepcid Ac — a complete shift in my pmdd experience.

I started taking Pepcid AC once a day for the past week (starting from 8 days before my period), and I am truly in awe of how good I feel!

I was weary to try it at first because I am super sensitive to medication and have gut problems to begin with. Here is the breakdown.

How I wake up during my hell week: 1. Body aches, sore boobs, back and abdomen (Pepcid ac helped slightly with this one). 2. Brain fog, a voice telling me I am awful, bad at life, not normal ( these voices stopped!!!) 3. Feeling overwhelmed, not knowing where to start (again, this narrative was erased) 4. Puffy, painful eyelids (gone) 5. Can’t look at myself in the mirror (gone)

I still feel “heavy” and I definitely am not running to the gym (I work out 6 days a week), but I’ve been able to do yoga, cook, and drive! Driving is a huge no for me during hell week because I get anxious and dizzy and feel overwhelmed.

Thank you all for your support!
