Deplin is used together with anti-depressant medications in people with major depressive disorder (including PMDD) and low folate levels.
Deplin alone, in this instance, is unlikely to be of benefit in helping with PMDD unless you are folate deficient.
See: http://www.drugs.com/mtm/deplin.html
This from http://www.drugs.com/enc/premenstrual-dysphoric-disorder.html
"... Women with PMDD may be helped by the following:
A balanced diet (with increased whole grains, vegetables, fruit, and decreased or no salt, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine)
Adequate rest
Regular exercise 3-5 times per week
In addition, it is important to keep a diary or calendar to record the type, severity, and duration of symptoms.
