Anyone has experience about taking antidepressants for PMS?

[Kione]

Hi there, I am at my wits end as I suffer of severe PMS, it affects 2 weeks a month, and in those two weeks I feel deeply depressed. I am so scared that it is going to cost me my partner as every month when I am like this I think of leaving him, then when my PMS passes I get days where I think my life couldn't be better.

And it is driving me mental and I am so scared its going to affect my DD who is nearly 2 1/2. Last time I booked flights to go home I booked them on PMS and went for 6 weeks, this obviously not being fair for her or her dad. And I already have cancel our wedding once. Now I am supposed to start the paperwork again but I can't bring myself to it :(

That's only a couple of examples but the ones that hurt most.

Any ideas, advice would be extremely appreciated.

hi kione, i was just wondering what hormone treatment it is you are on? I've had pmdd for over 5 years have recently have to come off anti d's due to having to take over medication for fibromyalgia and my pms is awful again. Trying to get my gp to refer me to a gynae and was wondering what you have been prescribed? thanks

Hi i have just been reading your posts and sympathise completely inexperience such a lot of this and it's like reading about myself I guess it's nice to know I'm not alone. I feel helpless and at my wits end and it's so damaging and sad and pointless. I have also wanted divorces been leaving, not going on holidays!!! My doctor has told me that a mild antidepressant might help designed for PMS mood swings only and not depression but I don't want to just do that until I find out more and look at what else I can do. But nice to know I'm not alone!
