Intermittent antidepressant dosing for hormonal depression/pmdd

[Jezebell]

Thinking about doing this . Is there anyone successfully doing this or who can explain how you don’t get withdrawal symptoms after 10/14 days ?

Bump

Yeah I don't get it either. I bump mine up during that period but don't ever come off completely.

Never mind withdrawal, initial side effects again after 15 days off? No ta!

I had fluoxetine for 2 weeks prior to each period. It massively helped my PMT. After I while I found myself too happy so stopped taking it and found I did not get much pmt in general afterwards. I'd really recommend it

My doctor told me to do this. 20mg for the ten days in the run up. I was surprised because I thought you’d have to take it every single day or you went off the rails.

@MyLadyTheKingsMother how much do you increase for and for how long?

I routinely take 25 of sertraline and then up to 50
