Hello there,

have you tried primrose oil and vitamin b?It has helped me with my mood swings. I dont take medicine. Its all natural and has helped me tremendously.

It depends on your doctor I think but my experience is pills are often seen as the quick cure (for lots of stuff!). I had to actually move GP because they got very stroppy (in retrospect I should have made a complaint) when I said I didn't want to go on the 'chemical change' - my reasons (amongst many) were that I actually couldn't take the pill so why would I want to get shot up with more stuff?! If you're not happy definitely tell the doctor you want another route or get other advice/pursue other routes independently.
