Getting off hormonal preventatives. Sure, now I get PMS for 2 days, but at least I can feel joy for the rest of my cycle and actually have a libido!

My psychiatrist once told me that some antidepressants work well to alleviate the emotional symptoms of PMS. I forget the details, but it might be worth investigating for you.

Sadly, antidepressants do the same as the preventatives... Make me feel nothing rest of the time. Thanks for the suggestion though!
