I have a dx of PMDD and mine was severe enough that I became clinically depressed with suicidal tendencies one week out of every month that scared the hell out of me and my husband... please do not try and handle this on your own as there are several good medicines out there that can give you your life and sanity back.

I am presently taking Celexa 20 mg per day with 20 mg twice a day during my period and I will continue to do so until I go through menopause (I am 42 - was dx around age 31).

This topic has been talked about before here on the forums... just do a search for PMDD and the others threads will come up so you can read over them.
