Hi, just wondering if any ladies here suffer from PMDD.

YES..... I have PMDD - that is actually what brought me to PC about seven months ago.... I was looking for some support during those lows in which I wanted to take my own life for one week every month.

To answer some of your question:

1.) when you have PMDD is it consistent every single month?
> > > > > NO, with the help of Celexa I have been given some months of FREEDOM.

2.) does it alternate, or even skip a few months?
> > > > YES, there are some months that I am as normal as I was before I got my first period and then there are other months that I am highly irritable, don't like people or just want to scream.... the death wish months are far and few in between with the help of my mood swing / anxiety medicine.

........... and I too have depression and it does indeed make the PMDD even worse.

Please feel FREE to ask ME any more questions or concerns YOU may have.... for I have been dealing with PMDD for many years now.
BTW - know that PMDD will usually only get worse over time without the help of some hormone / mood swing medicine, please do not suffer unnecessarily when there is medical help available.
