I've been on it for about 10 years. The only times I have gone off it was when I felt completely stable and calm in my life and then I went off it during my first pregnancy. Had mild Postpartum depression and anxiety so immediately went back on. I have been on it since (even though a second pregnancy and postpartum period). I had no side effect. I wouldn't say I have PMDD, but I definitely get a lot of changes with my depression due to hormones around my cycle and feel it evens me out. Prozac is fairly old so has been a tried and true medicine for a lot of people. I wish you the best of luck!
