I might try that. I’m already on an SSRI and it does not ease the symptoms. Is Pepcid like Benadryl?

OP 1d

it’s an antihistamine, so same type of drug? there are h1 and h2 antihistamines though and i’m not sure which benadryl is, but pepcid is an h2 which is the type that was said to help with pmdd
