My doctor has just recommended I go on Fluoxetine for two weeks a month, then take two weeks off. Over the last couple of years I have experienced worsening anxiety in the week before my period, combine with really low mood, major irritability and sleeplessness. After a couple of days of being on I'm mostly symptom-free. I'm finding it increasingly hard to cope and have started having panic attacks. I'm just wondering whether anyone else has experience of taking fluoxetine in this way? I've never taken SSRIs before and need to try something but this seems unusual? Thank you.
