I took this when I was 15 for "PMDD" and 6 years later I went through psychosis and lead me down a very scary anti-depressant induced hell which accelerated with even more drugs. All you people who say you would have committed suicide without it, just wait a few more years. Better yet, wait till you are old and gray and have dementia/Alzheimers because of your "happy pills."

Do your research, know your rights... the end.

@sarina350z23 Sorry for your experience! You made an excellent point! Every single person I have crossed paths with who has taken any kind of anti-depressant or psychiatric drug said that although initially there was some form of relief that their dependence on these drugs increased & their symptoms only worsened throughout the years. PMS & PMDD R LABELS that identify the symptoms. The symptoms R NOT diseases-they R human emotions! Get some exercise; change your diet & start eating healthy!

Nice - Prozac relabeled and sold to an unsuspecting public. Love you big pharma!

If anyone out there is looking for a REAL way to handle some if not all of you PMS simptoms, Evening Primrose Oil. Take 6-8 capsules EVERY day. Handles everything from cramps onwards, and is 100% natural.

@sosc3315 I realize it's been a few years since you posted this, but just want to thank you for doing so. More people need to be aware of the facts. Once people have the facts it's completely up to them to make the right choice for their own well-being. In fact, I think anyone who refuses to believe the facts should sign a life long disclaimer that will prevent them from ever being able to sue their docs once they experience the extreme side effects. Ignorance is bliss -- but facts R facts!!

@rosiejourney You are so bloody ignorant or should i say Fucking stupid. You are one of the suckers put more money in big pharma's pockets.

I was against the marketing. I know Sarafem is just Prozac in a pretty package. However, PMS is a real condition and yes we do suffer. Depression, anger, mood swings...I don't even want to be around me. The Sarafem helped more than anything else I have tried.

Whatever. If I didn't start taking Prozac to deal with this so called "made-up" condition, I would've committed suicide a long time ago. PMDD is very real to me and many other women like myself. Furthermore, perhaps this effort at changing Fluoxetine's image to market it to women with pms/pmdd is a good thing- so that women who are scared of the anti-depressant stigma, will finally get help.

Though i find this absolutly fucking rediculous, it makes some sense. Perhaps Prozac DOES work for PMDD, or PMS. However, since Prozac was not tested for treating PMS/PMDD, no doctor can perscribe it for that reason. The laws around drugs make it so that if a new use for a drug is found, they basically MUST rename and resell it. The part where they are making up disorders to peddle their drugs makes me sick. As a future worker in the Mental Health field, THIS is why I will never deal with meds.

Un fucking real.

I know a girl on this medication and she had no idea it was Prozac renamed.

Could be my balls in their drug peddling mouth.
