Abstract:
Twenty women with premenstrual complaints were treated in a double-blind placebo controlled trial during two consecutive menstrual cycles with fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin uptake blocker. A beneficial effect was found on somatic and affective symptoms in both treatment groups, the effect of fluvoxamine being not different from placebo. The results of this study do not support a role for serotonin in menstrually related affective symptoms.
