I noticed a thread on here dated six years ago about PMDD (pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder). I'm wondering if anyone out there currently is struggling with it and can give me some suggestions about how to handle it. I went to see a doc today who diagnosed me with this and gave me a prescription for Sarafem (prozac) with instructions to take it the two weeks leading up to my period. My hubby and I have noticed that since my daughter was born two years ago and I started getting my periods back in May 2009 that I've had really bad mood swings each month in which I'm really not nice to my family and the slightest thing sets me off in a depressed emotional spiral.

I'm not real excited to take a med since I'm still nursing my daughter each night and generally try to avoid medications because of all the side effects. Has anyone had any success with other remedies? I have a call in to an applied kinesiologist to see if she can help. Any advice is appreciated.
