l have been using Prozac for depression and anxiety for the past few months. For the most part, it has worked really well, but l still find that l get kind of depressed shortly before my period. It is not as bad as it would be if l were not taking the meds, but l still do not like it. Has anyone else here experienced this?

For women on Prozac: Do you find you still get depressed around the time of your period?

I take an antidepressant and I feel differently around my period - slightly depressed and I have physical symptoms. I do not think the antidepressants can take away everything.

OMG, I am on quite an extensive cocktail of meds for my depression/anxiety etc and no matter how great they are, when I am in my ovulating cycle, it is like i have not taken the pills at all. My pre-period depression is worse than my regular depression.

It is normal for anyone to get depressed on their period especially if you are a naturally depressed person. There is not really anything to worry about it is very normal. I get so depressed on my periods I used to cut myself every time i had one. I am doing better and you will be too. The best thing to do is do something or think about something else to get your mind off you being depressed.
