Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of calcium carbonate to fluoxetine in
the treatment of moderate to severe PMS. Second, to compare each active agent to a placebo
control. Third, to evaluate the efficacy of each treatment for specific symptom clusters
(i.e. affective and somatic). Fourth, to determine whether the addition of calcium to on
going fluoxetine treatment leads to additional therapeutic benefit.
