The Hook Up · What It’s Like To Have PMDD w/ Emma Hardy · 6 May 2026 podcast

It's about the way that your brain reacts to those hormones.

So Prozac operates on those neurosteroids that create that reaction.

So the difference that someone with PMDD feels when taking Prozac, like I did, is you don't have to wait months for it to kick in.

It, like, kicks in within hours.

It's like you feel that straight away.

So you can...

or I do at least, take a small amount of Prozac just when I'm in that luteal phase.

And that works.

It's not the best, but that works best for me in terms of minimizing side effects.

Yeah.

And ensuring that I don't feel out of control or too upset.

But yeah, I do feel like there's not really, it's like there's not a great treatment plan for it, to be honest.

And like to be fair, like I feel like quite a bit of frustration about this because I feel like, I don't know, there's all this pressure to be like a perfect patient and to be on top of your treatment.

But like the options for treatment are not fantastic.

I feel like the effects of medication on me.

I mean, I'm quite short.

I feel them quite intensely.

And so like Prozac was really intense for me when I was taking it all the time.

But yeah, there's like not really a better option.

And like, I don't know, you don't want your sex life to go out the window.
