Has your doctor ever suggested prozac. A drug called Sarafem is now on the market which is actually just plain old 20 mg prozac. Apparently it has been shown to be helpful with PMS so the FDA allows the manufacturer to market this version specifically for PMS. I was dealing with PMS and depression and my doctor gave me prozac. It worked well for me as far as the depression and PMS but unfortunately I had to stop it because I started having some side effects from it like weight gain, lethargy, muscle and joint pain. However, from what I've read, I think there are some people who respond that way to SSRIs but most don't.
