In reply to Sertraline and Suicidal Periods, posted by SA7 on June 27, 2010, at 18:28:15
I'm so sorry that you're feeling that way during your periods. How is your mood otherwise when you are not going through your period? Do you still feel depressed? Putting female/male physiology differences aside for a second, 100mg of sertraline might not be a high enough dose for you. I took this drug for 9 years and I know that from trials the average therapeutic dose was around 150mg. For me, 150mg was the key dose that I began to feel substantially better in terms of depression and anxiety/panic. Perhaps, and please consult your doctor, increasing the dose to 150mg might help your overall mood and prevent the suicidal feelings during your period.
