Default PMDD and epilepsy...

I was diagnosed with epilepsy about four years ago after having both grand mal and petit mal seizures for about twelve years. I don't have insurance currently and have been trying to get disability for about two and a half years now, I also have a deformity of my right arm that has caused problems with my left arm from overuse.
Anyway, this post is more about what my doctor thinks that I may have which is PMDD, my seizures seem to be hormone related and have been getting worse over the years, but I've been way more depressed around that time, thus the idea of PMDD.
I was just wondering about others who may have been diagnosed with PMDD, I'm only currently on Prozac, when I take it, anyway, what treatment are you on and has it helped? The epilepsy also makes me pretty paranoid, but maybe that's part of the PMDD as well, I really haven't read up much about it.

The only thing that seems to help MY PMDD, depression and TLE, is the merina IUD, and the zolft works well.. But IMO the kicker was the IUD, stopped my periods and PMS/PMDD! But that is just my experience.
