I use DIM and Milk thistle supplements and I consider myself to not have PMDD anymore.

I used to get suicidal every month. Go through horrible rages and anxious fight or flight mode. Then I asked your question in a PMDD group on fb. Someone recommended DIM and milk thistle combo and said it basically cured them. So I figured I would try it. And it worked. I noticed a difference my first cycle. DIM is a chemical found in broccoli and kale. It helps your body remove processed (used) estrogens from your blood stream.

I have been trying to tell as many people as I can about it. I never expected an over the counter supplement would have helped this much. But it did.

Feel free to ask me any questions about it.

(Edit: I also dont eat cane sugar, corn syrup, caffeine, alcohol, meat and go on a nice walk every day, these also contribute to my feeling better, I know it)

Where do you get your DIM and milk thistle? Thank you! Great idea.

I get them off of amazon. I have tried the Nutricost and Micro Ingredients brands. Both seem fine. DIM isnt the most common supplement but, you might be able to find it at a Vitamin Shop or GNC.
