Hi. I'm a new member looking for answers to my recently diagnosis. PMDD. I thought pms was something girls go thru monthly. Bitchy...moody..throwing things...crying are monthly occurences that are 'normal' behavior. It's been that way for years. Some months are worse than others. I've tried every bc known to man! (or so it seems to me!) Yaz..the last bc I was on did make a bit of a difference but I experienced bad headaches and didn't want to eat while on it. The past 6 months things have gradually gotten worse. I knew I really needed help when I started having thoughts of how things would be if I wasn't here. It's hard for me to say 'suicidal' thoughts. I'm normally a strong person. But that's what they were. Thankfully I realized I needed help. My doctor diagnosed PMDD. Explaining what to expect..handing me pamphlets on this 'disorder'..then handing me a script for prozac left me feeling lost and confused.
Question. How has prozac effected anyone who has taken it? I work with animals and it is prescribed for dogs to treat their depression and sometimes dogs with behavioral problems but it's kind of hard for me to question them on how they are feeling!!
Any comments would be greatly appreciated...
