Has anyone taken buspar for period anxiety? (Aka the ladies) haha

Thank you for responding!!! I have actually considered the hormonal IUD but my body and brain can’t handle it too well (the hormones) I’ll definitely speak to my doctor about anksilon! Thanks so much for the info!

@Dess "There have been very few studies on hormonal IUD impact on premenstrual mood symptoms, and none examining use of hormonal IUDs specifically in women with PMS / PMDD." I wanted to share this copypaste I found. :D To clarify, my doctor never said that the hormonal iud would help me with my PMS. This is just my own experience! I am sure your doctor has more information. Also! I was really against the hormonal birth control for almost 10 years and for example I never wanted to try the combination pills. When I was using the mini pills I definitely experienced a few side effects (mind&body). Like I mentioned, I felt really neutral but I was also spotting a lot. Sorry, English is not my first language so I am not able to explain this better. Now that I've got my IUD (Kyleena) I feel like myself, minus the horrible period anxiety and heavy flows! Also my acne has cleared up a lot. I think all this has something to do with the low dose of hormones that is released in the uterus. Basically, my periods were pain in the ass to begin with and the hormonal IUD has given me some balance back to my life. I kind of hate to admit this.?? Also about Buspar/Anksilon. For me it took maybe 1,5 months to get used to the medicine. I remember feeling dizzy and nauseous after taking it. Also taking the medicine at the same time everyday is important. I thought that this info might help you! I really hope Buspar/Anksilon will be THE medicine for you.?

@emkala THANK YOU! I feel you about Kyleena. My doctor said I should get it because it only spreads hormones in the reproductive region not throughout the body! So we will see! I’m happy you mentioned something similar to buspar. Do you mind me asking what ocd theme you have?

@Dess I would say I have got three different main themes which are scrupulosity, hocd and rocd.? Because of rocd I did not want to get a proper hormonal birth control because I was afraid I will stop loving my boyfriend. When I was trying to decide if I wanted to get Kyleena my doctor told me that the hormones Kyleena releases will let my natural hormone levels to stay about the same which means ovulation can happen etc. She showed me a picture about this but I can't find it online! After insertion I was cramping which lasted about 4 days. After that I was fine! The pain was nothing compared to my period pains though. :D

@emkala Right omg with the copper iud I had... the pain was awful. I think because it is bigger and it’s COPPER hahah so I got it taken out bc my periods were so heavy. I’ll look into it!

@Dess I am sorry to hear that! :( That sucks. I really feel you about not wanting to use extra hormones! I wanted to get the copper IUD sooo bad but my doctor explained that if I get one there is a huge chance that my situation will get worse. She works at birth control centre so I believed her. It is true that "natural periods" can cause you to have serious menstrual disorders. :/ Not nice.

No no that was very helpful thank you!!!!!! I’ve read so many good reviews about it and some bad. But I like the fact that it’s non habit forming AND non addictive like the benzos I was used to. I’m glad it helped with your intrusive thoughts!
