premenstrual dysphoric disorde
"I told my OBGYN that I was having a lot of depression and Rage associated with PMS (heightened by life stress).  She recommended fluoxetine for the time between ovulation and when my period starts.  I started that day (perfect timing).  The side effects that first cycle were extreme.  I was exhausted, sweating more, LOW/NO sex drive, couldn't achieve orgasm, numb emotions, but I read online that these subside over time {AND THEY HAVE}.  I have gone through 7 cycles with the medication.  I hope to reduce from 20mg to 10mg and have done reduced some my first 6 days to 10mg and 20 mg the remaining.  It is working well for me and allowing me some emotional freedom to get back to exercising, etc.  I am grateful for this medication! So is hubby."
