In reply to Sarafem..does it work??PMDD sufferer.., posted by Janet on November 26, 2000, at 1:38:53

Hi Janet. I'm 32 and currently researching PMDD in order to better inform myself (actually, to better get up the courage to go to my doctor about the possibility that I might actually be suffering from this).

I've read LOTS of information about Sarafem/PMDD, and have thus far come to the conclusion that, while it's not THE drug of choice, it seems to be a mostly tolerable drug and works in over 60% of PMDD cases (controlled).

I have a friend who took Zoloft and for a short while Sarafem (different treatment purpose)and although she did have the insomnia and sometimes nausea, she didn't feel "drugged" when she was taking it - just 'less' of all that she was struggling with before taking it.....irratability, anti-socialism, sadness, often and drastic change in moods for no apparent reason.

So, if you've since started taking Sarafem, please follow up with me to let me know how you're faring with it. I'll report back myself once I get my butt into the doctor and see if he can't help me figure this out.

Regards,
Wendy
