My name is Jessica. I am 21 years old and I was diagnosed with PMDD about 3 weeks ago. I had been doing research because I knew there was something wrong. My relationship with my boyfriend of three years has suffered drastically because I can't seem to express the severity of the disorder to him. I have noticed that my grades are been drastically effected and my social life, even more so. I am currently taking a generic anti-depressant called Citralopram, and have yet to see any positive or negative effects. They say it takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks to work, but when it works, you know it and you can feel it. No more anxiety and no more Extreme mood swings. I don't know how to truly express to my friends and family what I am going through. I had thoughts of suicide (though I would never go through with it) and thoughts of complete inadequacy. I hope this medication takes effect soon, because I don't think my family can take much more of this.
