Recurrence of symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder after the cessation of luteal-phase fluoxetine treatment

Article Abstract:

Women who experience premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and stop taking fluoxetine may have a recurrence of symptoms, according to two studies of 517 women. This supports the idea that PMDD is a different disorder than depression. PMDD is a more severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Fluoxetine is the generic name for Prozac, which is called Serafem when it is used to treat PMS and PMDD.
