Managing Chronic Depression and Antidepressants

Ive felt this same way for so long, i started taking prozac and it’s helped some, not always but it really helps me not feel suicidal all the time

I tried Yaz for my pmdd and I had the exact symptoms as yours. It made me severely sick. I'm now on 100 mg of Zoloft and it seems to be helping my PMDD.

This sounds similar to me but I never went on meds. Maybe you’re on the wrong SSRI for your body if it’s not helping before/during your period. 50% of your life is a lot! I have the same thing and I struggle with so many symptoms that make me just absolutely miserable and then I get sick if I push myself (so sometimes it’s much longer than just 2 weeks) and Dr don’t seem to care. Birth control is their only answer and I don’t want to go on it bc I’ve heard nothing but bad. Do you get some sunshine and fresh air daily? Exercise like walking? Eat okay when you’re depressed? Feel free to message me, I’d love to talk more!
