SSRIs for PMDD
for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are first-line treatment for severe PMS (PMDD) taken either continuously or luteal phase only.
How it works
SSRIs increase serotonin availability. PMDD involves serotonin system dysregulation in the luteal phase. Uniquely SSRIs work within hours in PMDD unlike depression.
What to watch for
Requires prescription. Luteal phase-only dosing is effective and minimises side effects. Discuss options with your doctor.
