Birth Control vs Pain Relievers

[mybodymyself]

Is it possible for a woman whom suffers from PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and/or PMDD (Premenstrual dysphoric disorder) to take any form of pain reliever instead of being on any form of birth control or what? Just recently started to think about this.

Is it also possible that any form of birth control can help with mental health and illness? Basically, I received this as part of my response on forum to my post here and now I'm total confused with all of this. Since I always thought that it brings on mental illness and not the other way around. Thats what happened to me when I was birth control, the 2nd and last time.

Think thats it for now.

Try Ibuprofen 600mg every 6 hours during menstruation, the key is to start this as soon as menstruation starts. Studies show that ibuprofen helps decrease progestrin which is causing the cramps but you need to take it continuous and as soon as you start menstrating. Additionally this tx may not be for everyone given the GI side effects so check with a provider first.

Do you think it's necessary to take ibuprofen with food or on empty stomach? I heard it's a good idea to take it with food to prevent the acid from damaging the stomach.. Any truth in that?

Always take Ibuprofen with food. Ibuprofen is very rough on the GI tract.

Birth control and pain relievers are not going to clash. Its safe to take both at the same time provided it is taken for each purpose.
