> Given what I've just read about PMDD I'm not surprised you got started on AD medication. Did you have depression before you felt (or recognized) the PMDD symptoms? I'm asking because I'm wondering what your pdoc's plan is. Mine wants me to try it for a year to see if I can 'break the cycle' of depression that comes and goes.

> RichardI suppose I have been depressed for quite a while and just did not realize it. I thought I was just tired, or getting old. Also have been an insomniac most of adult life, and didn't think THAT could cause depression either.
About 2 years ago I started feeling different physically and mentally and just thought I was peri-menopausal, even though I was 46. Saw gyn doc and was dx w/PMDD. We didn't discuss length of treatment, something to talk about next time I see him for once yearly visit. I suppose I will continue on it, have had good results .....so far.~~~8|8
