This only happens 1 week before my period. I have tried to manage it with Dermatologist, Therapist, SSRI and all seem like bandaids to the underlaying problem of hormonal imbalance. I am now looking into Birth Control pills as a way to help. I am wondering if I should go to an endocrinologist or a gynocologist for this as it seems rather specialized. Any thoughts or help?

I have tried OCs on a number of occasions but found that they have affected me very badly, making me constantly over emotional, depressed and irritable. The only time in may life when I have enjoyed relative stability and sanity was after several months of breast feeding my children.

We don't know yet whether other pills are effective at treating mood difficulties before menses, but they may be, and they are currently being studied.
