I have read and been told that Sarafem has good benefits but that is may take as many as three cycles to see a difference. No matter what SSRI you take it may take some time to see the benefits. Don't get down if it does not work in the first month. Keep tracking your symptoms and hang in there. Many quit before they give these drugs a chance to work. No matter what please let us know how things went. I am desperate to help someone who suffers like you. The Docs are real reluctant to use the PMDD diagnosis because it can mask so many other things. Like all Docs they cover their butts. I will say a little prayer for you that this therapy will work for you.
