I told me endo who prescribed prozac for 10 days of the month around the time of my period. I like this better because it makes me feel more relaxed and less reactive to my anger and tears. There is also SAM-E which I have heard is supposed to be good. Talk to your doctor about options. Everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another. 20 days out of the month I;m pretty okay but those other 7-10 days are heck! Good luck
