For women with PMDD-- gynecologist or psychiatrist?!
Question:
For women with PMDD-- gynecologist or psychiatrist?
I haven't been diagnosed, but my PMS symptoms have gotten progressively worse to the point of complete debilitation for several days out of the month. For women who have been diagnosed/treated, did you see a psychologist or psychiatrist first, or did you ask your gynecologist first? What was your treatment? Did it work?
Thank you!

Also, I've tried Welbutrin... it just made me more anxious, didn't help the symptoms at all.
Thank you for all the wonderful answers so far!

Oh, and by "debilitating," I mean the depression, not pain.
Answers:
I'd suggest seeing your gyno first. Supposedly the Yaz birth control pill has been shown to help with PMDD. I wasn't diagnosed either, but my monthly PMS had reached critical levels. I've been on Yaz for about five months now and if I PMS, I don't even know it. Good luck!
