Really. They handle it much better. Trust me.<BR/><BR/>First, REs says the Pill shouldn't be prescribed for women who have these swings, at least not until after a cycle of testing to determine what sort will work. You can create problems, my RE said.<BR/><BR/>Second, there are a lot of things to help with the little ups and downs. Most ADs require yout ake them all the time. There are a few things you can take for a few days with the worst of the symptoms.<BR/><BR/>So me? My advice?
