I am 23 year old and during PMS I suffer from acute mood swings, anxiety and depression. I consulted a doctor and he prescribed Sibelium 10. Should I continue taking these because on Google it says that this is for treating migraines and depression is one of the side effect of this medicine.

Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking a help here. Yes the medicine is for migraine and not for depression. Pls disease with your doctor. Instead of medicine, would advice you below options: As body and mind are interlinked, PMS is known to bring increase in stress levels in the body, anxiety and mood swing. Also our lifestyle, food habbit, body heat, digestion etc also influence such mood swing, irritation, frustration etc. So better to start follow a suitable stress management plan by taking an advice of a psychologists after analyzing your both physical and mental symptoms or conditions. You could adopt few lifestyle changes, daily routines or exercises, dietary changes, certain self therapies, meditation, certain yoga poses etc to overcome without medicine. Feel free to reach out to me online or through Lybrate app for further detailed evaluation and recommendation. Be positive. You will be alright soon.
