Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

PMS is a complex disease influencing virtually all the systems of the body. However, PMS has the greatest effect on the very emotional condition of ours. You are sure to have noticed that few days before the cycle started you got touchy and angry, often went wrong with your family or took everything to heart. As for me, these days I cry as many tears as I don’t manage to cry over the whole month. I cry at the slightest opportunity. I can be touched by a dramatic moment in a movie, sad love song or even a homeless puppy on the street. And my vulnerability can turn into aggression in a second, that’s when I start making a row with the first person coming in my way. That is why for me a perfect PMS medication is the one that not only helps to get rid of pain in the belly and breast, but also improves my emotional condition. Prozac has positive calming effect on the nervous system and helps to return it to its stable condition.

Prozac is the very medication that brings relief during those few days before the cycle starts, when life becomes hell not only for me, but for my family as well. Indeed, this medication helps to see things positively and not to be distressed by trifles. Besides, Prozac calms the nerves down, so I stopped going wrong with my family and can adequately control my emotions. This medication removes the symptoms of depression, calms the body down, and makes me feel positive. Of course, Prozac does not give you the feeling of euphoria or excitement. It’s just that when I take it I feel calm and confident both before the periods start and during the menstruation or after it ends.

Well, Prozac has been talked about for long. In the USA over the last few decades this medication is taken by every twentieth person! Naturally, they prescribe it not only for PMS, but for other problems with nervous system as well. But the health professionals do not have the united opinion on it. Most of them are prone to thinking that it is absolutely safe, while some doctors claim that constant stimulation of serotonin generation (which is the major effect of Prozac) is not good for human body. Generally, when I take Prozac I found myself totally comfortable. The only problem provoked by this medication lies in periodical sleep disorders. Sometimes I felt sleepy during almost the whole day, while later on I could not fall asleep till dawn. When I started to have these symptoms, I reduced the dose of Prozac and the sleep disorders stopped.
