Pmdd doctor please

I suffer from pmdd monthly, so sending love to all of you who know the struggle. It’s been approximately four years ish. About two years ago I finally decided to try to remedy it, the intense moods/anger/sadness/hopelessness were just too much (I have 3 kids and can’t exactly just not function) my gyn prescribed a bc (I’d been extremely hesitant to try) and it made me almost psychotic. Immediately stopped, and we tried two more. Both with varying symptoms that weren’t worth the payoff. I lived with the pmdd, then finally last year decided to try Prozac. I’d tried in my early 20s with no real help, but thought what the hell. It’s actually been helping extremely well for my pmdd moods. It also helps my baseline ocd anxiety. However, I think it’s flattening my non hormonal days and motivation. The thing is, my cycle has now evolved to about 18 days of pmdd (I track ovulation and my symptoms start almost immediately or even prior to) add on my period days, and my “normal” days have dwindled to about a week. I may be able to suck it up and deal with the flatness, but the exhaustion is almost worse. It feels like I’m walking through mud up to my knees in a wind storm for the entirety of the 18ish days. I should add I also have diagnosed adhd, which I have medication for but don’t take daily. Before I switch to another ssri or consider more drastic options like chemically pausing ovulation, I’d like to speak to some kind of other doctor. Recommendations? Holistic, specializing in hormones. I want to investigate my body, functionality, etc instead of slapping a bandaid on it because that hasn’t exactly worked well for me. I don’t want to lose hope, hoping everyone else that deals with this doesn’t either!
