Hi Jodie:
The reason why I want to try the semi-intermittent dose of Celexa is because I can't imagine not having PMDD, until I am in menopause. And then that will cause all kinds of other problems. Because I believe I will be on an SSRI for many, many years, I would like to take the lowest dose that will work. By taking the semi-intermittent dose, I believe I will function better with less side-effects. I took Celexa for 8 months and had very minimal PMS. It was a very nice break from the monthly horror. I did like Celexa, but I did notice I wasn't as "passionate" with my husband. It was sort of like, "Are you done yet, because I've finished my nails" (ha, ha). I think if I try the semi-intermittent dose, it might help in that department. The intermittent dose sounds the best, but I don't think it would work with Celexa, because when I quit Celexa last time I got some strange side-effects, even after about the 2nd day I quit taking it.I will probably try prozac down the road, but I am a little nervous about that.
Did you ever try just the intermittent dose with Sarafem(Prozac), and how did it work?
Thanks
