Just try it. Prozac was never tested on women so you have to go rogue. It’s rebellious and it works!
I think i did 10mg for a few years to help with the massive hormone imbalance and I’ll use it again when I deal with menopause!!! track that period and be aware and don’t suffer if you don’t have to!!
Good Rx gets you a good deal on it and better help etc can prescribe it. Be smart. But try it if your periods are way too moody.

i was put on prozac about three years ago. i was having crazy panic and anxiety attacks that would last for weeks. i didn't feel like myself which was the scariest part. i was apprehensive at first but my mom really encouraged me and it actually really helped. i think prozac was right for me and it was the most useful in preventing the worst of the worst. it was really helpful in rewiring a lot of the thought patterns that i couldn't get out of myself. i now don't need to take it. i think i had to take it so then i didn't need it if that makes sense. i know there can be some adverse effects for people but i think you have do do what feels right for you.

For me, when I hit luteal through when my period starts has a high likelihood of spiral and depression and just sort of retreating. I also recently got diagnosed with ADHD (two double d conditions lmao) and I think it exacerbates THOSE symptoms which has been an interesting thing to figure out.
I track my cycle pretty closely and try to keep ahead on assignments when I know PMDD symptoms are going to begin.
I do my best not to break certain routines and habits when symptoms show up as they are very important to keeping my brain and help with ADHD symptoms. Like, if I make my bed I won’t lie down in bed if I eat breakfast I won’t be irritable and brain foggy-but if I do I just gotta move on and forgive myself anyways. I actually find myself saying “I forgive myself” out loud A LOT. Cheesy, but it works for me!
I will say I am also on SSRIs for anxiety and I increase my dose from my luteal phase up until my period.
I was very lucky to find one that works for me on the first try, I know meds are supeeeer trial and error. My PMDD symptoms have been more transient since I started the dosage adjustments and I have a lot more good months than bad.
I also communicate to the people close to me when I’m facing the PMDDemon, sometimes they can offer support or just understanding which goes a long way. I try my best not to cancel social plans unless I am certain I don’t have it in me, because ultimately I’m gonna have a worse time alone than when I’m with other people—but that’s just because I know that about myself.
PMDD blows and its under researched and not taken seriously enough! Wishing you luck in figuring out what works for you!!!

PMDD itself gets an anti-rec but understanding how it works (and getting meds if applicable to your situation) is a game-changer
like yes it sucks to have my mental health essentially held hostage by my hormones on a 28-day merry-go-round BUT that means that now when it’s day 14 and the world starts looking progressively darker and scarier and I start thinking everyone hates me and I should disappear and what good have I ever done anyway—I can go hey, I’m onto you brain, you can’t get me this time 🫵😭 (and then cry and self-care as much as possible until it’s day 1 again and everything is magically chill)
