PMDD is a diagnosis created by the medical community and strongly reinforced by the pharmacetical industry, there has been no randomized trials comparing the effectiveness of different OBCP preparations for for PMS's new poster child PMDD if there ever is you can just about bet there will be no difference in effectivness.

Take  care, John

Women don't suffer from PMS, the men around them do! Having had a wife with PMDD, I can attest to it's existence as a first hand sufferer. And many of my patients' husbands have thanked me for putting the beast at bay. I think PMDD is one of those things that if you don't specifically ask for it, most patients won't tell you that they are suffering. As for lack of clinical trials comparing the effectiveness of different OBCP preparations for for PMDD, I wonder how Yaz claims it's indication for PMDD.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
