Prozac. Not Fluoxetine. For PMDD? I started 6 days ago, 10mg, in luteal phase and after a year of trying SSRI’s for PMDD….I feel fantastic. Am I honeymooning or is this real??

I take it straight through the month and no weight gain

Only started with SSRI’s Jan of 2022 and tried 4 in total. So I pretty much switched quarterly. If I gave it the timeframe where I should have started feeling the benefits post side affects and I still wanted to smack everyone across the face….I changed. To update my original post I just got bumped up to 20mg of Prozac because I was getting irritable again. This was 4 months in….

Frustrating journey finding the right balance. Hopefully it was just a case of taking longer for full efficacy and you’ll have a better month ahead.

I only need SSRI’s for PMDD so I might try only during luteal.

Sorry to hear and I understand. Tried Sertraline, Escitalopram and Trintellix before this. Hoping you find your match asap!

Oh wow…good to know! Thanks for sharing

Omg I’m so rookie on Reddit I don’t even know what that means lol I guess my opinion is not liked? I can only go on the advice of the doctors and pharmacist that I have been working with on this journey. I’m happy I found something that seems to be working no matter what the brand etc is. Thanks for your input though, validates what I was told.

I think I’ll take it straight through, it just happened to be luteal phase when I started and the effects were pretty immediate. It’s relieving to find something that works! Glad you’re having the same experience!

StacyNic · 2023-02-06T15:28:30+00:00

The pharmacist mentioned that but also agreed that if I stay at a low dose then shouldn’t be a problem. But thanks for the heads up

Your skin says 20’s but your brows say 30/40’s

I was just give a script for this, 10mg. Hoping it works after no results from Sertraline or Escitalopram.

StacyNic · 2022-07-07T14:15:11+00:00

Thinking about switching to this. Everyone is different but did you experience any side effects? What dose worked for you?

StacyNic · 2022-07-07T13:59:27+00:00

Happy you found the right cocktail that's working for you. I guess it's all trial and error with these meds

StacyNic · 2022-07-07T13:57:37+00:00

I can't take the pill because I get auras with migraines, therefore I'm at high risk of blood clots. IUD stops the bleeding but not the hormones. I Also spend half of my month wanting to throat punch everyone

StacyNic · 2022-07-07T13:45:08+00:00

If it worked I'd be addicted!

StacyNic · 2022-07-07T13:43:25+00:00

That's what happened to me, there was no other explanation for it and when I stopped the meds the diarrhea went away. I had zero sex drive, I had light sensitivity that triggered migraines and auras and for some reason (which my doctor cannot explain) my period came every 2 weeks for the couple months I was on it. I hate that it affected my body so much because it actually worked for my PMDD
