A review of treatment of premenstrual syndrome & premenstrual dysphoric disorder
TL;DR: Preliminary evidence suggests that the drospirenone-containing pill called Yasmin may be effective the treatment of PMDD, and there is good clinical evidence for GnRH analogs with addback hormonal therapy, danocrine, and estradiol implants or patches with progestin to protect the endometrium.

Alteration by oral contraceptives of normal menstrual changes in plasma renin activity concentration and substrate.
TL;DR: Two out of 6 hypertensive women taking oral contraceptives in this study were felt to be the cause for the condition and an hypothesis was advanced that suppressed renin secretion was a normal response to elevated substrate levels and that inadequate suppression might account for the hypertensive effect of oral contraceptives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlations between mood, weight, and electrolytes during the menstrual cycle: a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone hypothesis of premenstrual tension.
TL;DR: The potassium/sodium ratio and weight changes suggest that activation of the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system may underlie increases in psychopathology linked to the menstrual cycle, possibly through effects on central neurotransmitters.
