"I have suffered for 25 years with PMDD. I was diagnosed 9 years ago and was put on fluoxetine, but did not find it helpful. It was too ‘numbing’. I recently started Sertraline & have seen very positive results - hardly any side effects, the first 48 hours a little nausea, a rushing sensation & teeth grinding. But since then I have felt calm, rational & clearer thinking. Even when I have felt a little bit of premenstrual annoyance, I have felt in control & more rational than ever before. I have spent years dreading / fearing my periods because of my behaviour, thoughts, sadness and issues with food around that time. But I have never felt so ‘normal’ as I do today. Every SSRI is different for different people, but this has worked very well for me. I take it just before I go to bed, so I don’t experience the peak during working hours etc. I also tested it while not at work to see how I responded - as I have had some awful reactions to anti depressants before."

"I took sertraline medication before for stress, anxiety and social anxiety and was in such a bad place mentally I didn’t get any of the side effects mentioned here.. and only felt the benefits of it. I took 50mg daily. After 2 years I have decided to start taking it again as I begun struggling with negative thoughts, 0 motivation and depression. All of this made 100% worse at time of the month. Went to the doctor and apparently it’s called PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) basically an extreme version of PMS. I’m on day 7 of taking sertraline (50mg again) and this time round have experienced almost every side effect mentioned here. The ones I’ve experienced most are; insomnia, complete loss of appetite, even less motivation before, increased anxiety, upset stomach and am very jittery. I will update in a couple of weeks time, I’ve been reading every review on this website and it’s giving me hope and reassurance that these side effects will pass!!"
